these blues

jj cale'in to tulsa and back albümünden yumuşacık ve lezzetli bir şarkısı. Sözleri şu şekildedir:

a hundred miles is not too far
unless you have to walk
life, it seems, is like a dream
until you have to talk

don't wonder for a moment
ıf you win or lose
just stop and stay, and watch the day
and listen to these blues

ıf it don't work for you, girl
put it off your mind
ıf you drink anew from the well
you find the bottom line

a fancy woman told me
john, you're bound to do this
so ı just stay and watch the day
and sing these lonesome blues

the blues is not a song you sing
ıt is a way of life
ı've hung around them bar rooms, girl
almost all my life

the men, they all are gamblers
they take all they can use
so if ı find no peace of mind
ı'll settle for these blues
