Call Me The Breeze
J.J. Cale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They call me the breeze,
I keep blowing down the road
They call me the breeze,
I keep blowing down the road
I ain't got me nobody,
I ain't carrying me no load

Ain't no change in the weather,
Ain't no change in me
Ain't no change in the weather,
Ain't no change in me

I ain't hidin' from nobody,
Ain't nobody hidin' from me
I got that green light, babe,
I got to keep moving on
I got that green light, babe,
I got to keep moving on
I might go out to California,
Might go down to Georgia,
Might stay home
