I know you don’t take things for granted I can tell by the look in your eye You got so much soul You got something Takes a man a lifetime To find We like it Mr JJ Cale When you weep and moan We like it Mr JJ Cale When you rock and roll I know there no strangers in your eye I can tell by the words in your song You got so much soul You got something Takes a man a lifetime To know what's going on Oh we like it Mr JJ Cale When you weep and moan We like it Mr JJ Cale When you rock and roll Oh we like it Mr JJ Cale When you weep and moan We like it Mr JJ Cale When you hit home

Oh I’m all gone For a woman It’s so plain to see I’m hanging on To a thread that’s broken Like a lifeline Floating in the sea Oh I’m in deep With a woman I’ve lost all self-control I have no sense Of direction I’m a long way down The wrong road But it’s still burning It’s never ending And it will never die I still have That feeling And the flame is still alive Oh I’m in love With a woman I cry myself to sleep Like a fish Out of water Looking for a river To set me free But it’s still burning It’s never ending And it will never die I still have That feeling And the flame is still alive And the flame will never die

Now listen To what I say If you’re feeling down I have a way To pick you up And make your day Bring a little sunshine Down your way It’s easy And it’s free So take a little walk With me I can hold your hand And show the way Lead you on Light your day You gotta let go Trust in me I’ll take you there Wait and see It’s easy And it’s free So take a little walk With me You never know What you’re gonna find When you’re out walking In the back of your mind If you can Get away These walking blues Will save your day It’s easy And it’s free So take a little walk With me Well it’s easy And it’s free So take a little walk With me

Way down south A long time ago Sun went down On the Alamo Snakes stop crawling Wind stood still Whole town knew There was gonna be a kill They were a long way from home In another man’s war There was Lancashire blood On a Texas floor Mission bells rang In San Antone Men came to fight from Mexico William Travis and his volunteers Stared death in the face They had no fear They were a long way from home In another man’s war There was Lancashire blood On a Texas floor After seven long days And seven hard nights There was nobody left Stood to fight So for every star And every stripe An Englishman Gave his life They were a long way from home In another man’s war There was Lancashire blood On a Texas floor Way down south A long time ago Sun went down On the Alamo Way down south A long time ago

Lucky Man 04:55
I’m a lucky man I don’t cry Lord I'm lucky I don’t cry Sometimes I wonder how Some folks survive I’m a lucky man I’ve got what I need Lord I’m lucky I’ve got what I need Sometimes I wonder how Some folks succeed I've food on the table A roof on my head Shoes on my feet A pillow on my bed Lord I’m lucky I have everything I need Lord I’m lucky I’ve had an easy life Lord I’m lucky I’ve had an easy life Sometimes I wonder how Some folks survive I've food on the table A roof on my head Shoes on my feet I got A pillow on my bed Lord I’m lucky I've had an easy life

Everybody wanna fast car Everybody wanna be a star Everybody I know but you Everybody wanna to be a sensation Be the centre of attraction Everybody I know but you You’re a natural woman Like the wind and the rain By the light of the fire And the heat of the flames She’s a natural woman She’ll always remain By the light of the fire And the smoke in the lanes Everybody wants everything Things like a diamond ring Everybody I know but you Everybody talks so fast Everybody wanna kick my ass Everybody I know but you You’re a natural woman Like the wind and the rain By the light of the fire And the heat of the flames She’s a natural woman She’ll always remain By the light of the fire And the smoke in the lanes

I told my doctor I can’t breathe He said sit down son I’ll tell you what you need You’ve gotta Slow down Take it easy for a while If you want to stay alive You gotta Change your lifestyle Told my doctor I’m out of breath He said sit down son You need some rest Slow down Take it easy for a while If you want to stay alive Change your lifestyle Gotta quit drinking While you can still stand You gotta keep walking Right to the end You gotta quit smoking They call it doctor death You gotta live your life To the very last breath Slow down Take it easy for a while If you want to stay alive You gotta Change your lifestyle If you wanna stay alive Change your lifestyle

The time has come To walk away I’m gonna climb up To the top of the world I’m going to roll on Higher and higher As the road I ride twist and turns Well I don’t care I’ve heard it all before I don’t care anymore I have lived like a king I’ve lost everything I don’t care anymore I’ve crossed many oceans I’ve burned a bridge or two Spoke my mind And I’ve felt a fool I’ve laughed and I’ve cried Told the truth and I’ve lied But I found you But I don’t care anymore Well I don’t care I’ve heard it all before I don’t care anymore I’ve lived like a king I’ve lost everything I don’t care anymore Well everybody climbing To the top of the tree Stepping on folks That they don’t wanna see Big wind blows And the tree fall down And everyone back On level, level ground Well I don’t care I’ve heard it all before I don’t care anymore I’ve lived like a king I’ve lost everything But I don’t care anymore I’ve crossed many oceans I’ve burned a bridge or two Spoke my mind And I’ve felt a fool I’ve laughed and I’ve cried Told the truth and I’ve lied But I found you But I don’t care anymore

We’re all in this together Every man and boy and child There’s no use pointing fingers We’re gonna be here for a while Let’s all stand up together And try to get along By now we should know the difference Between what is right or wrong We’ll be all dressed up With nowhere to go Like an old dog looking For a dry bone We’ll be all dressed up With nowhere to go Like an old dog looking For a dry bone We’re all in this together From every walk of life From my land to your land You’ll hear the battle cry Let’s all stand up together When you hear the call No mansions or fortunes Will save you from the fall We’ll be all dressed up With nowhere to go Like an old dog looking For a dry bone We’ll be all dressed up With nowhere to go Like a poor soul looking For a dry home We’ll be all dressed up With nowhere to go

You were there when my heart stopped beating You sat beside my bed You put me right when I been wronging You were always one step ahead And in our younger days We’d pass the time away Finding face in the clouds And in our younger days We'd just sit and play And look at you now You bailed me out when I was sinking Drifting like a boat without a sail You gave me something to believe in I knew you'd never let me fail And in our younger days We’d pass the time away Finding faces in the clouds And in our younger days We'd just sit and play And look at you now And look at you now
