Thirteen Days Lyrics - J. J. Cale

(J.J. Cale) 

Thirteen days on a gig in the south 

We've got enough dope to keep us all around 

We've got two girls dancin' to bring in a crowd 

A sound man to mix us, make us sound loud 

Sometimes we make money, sometimes I don't know 

There's thirteen days with five to go 

Birmingham, Mobile, and up to Baton Rouge 

We're smokin' cigarettes and reefer, drinkin' coffee and booze 

Saw the sun go down in Atlanta, come up in New Orleans 

I got to know a waitress, I tried to get in her jeans 

Sometimes we make money, sometimes I don't know 

There's thirteen days with five to go

If we're ever in your town, come see us if you can 

Yeah, we been to California, we been to New York 

Some take to the magazines, some take to dope 

Sometimes we make money, sometimes I don't know 

Thirteen days with five to go
