These Blues Lyrics - J. J. Cale

(J.J. Cale) 

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 

If you win or lose 

Just stop and stay, and watch the day 

And listen to these blues

If it don't work for you, girl 

Put it off your mind 

If you drink anew from the well 

You find the bottom line 

A fancy woman told me 

John, you're bound to do this 

So I just stay and watch the day 

And sing these lonesome blues 

The blues is not a song you sing 

It is a way of life 

I've hung around them bar rooms, girl 

Almost all my life 

Photos 

The men, they all are gamblers 

They take all they can use 

So if I find no peace of mind 

I'll settle for these blues
