Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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

JJ's guitar playing, his phrasing, his sense of economy and rhythm, his use of dynamics are world class, a true virtuoso. He managed to say so much with so little, a true genius. RIP JJ, you won't be forgotten.

Take your Cardi B and get lost. This is real music....
@jukkatuhkanen4359
I like Cardi Be also but this music is, like you said "real music" and very near to extinction.

I had just lost my dad in a stupid desert war in Morocco in January of 1976. My uncle invites me to the deep desert in south Morocco. He lived in a sleepy small town of maybe 20000 people. They had a small club there where they had a HiFi player. They had a decent vinyl records collection. I was grieving sad and bored. The manager somehow was nice enough to let me browse through their vinyl collection. For some unknown reason JJ Cale's album caught my eyes. It was the one with the Raccoon with the hat. I didn't speak a word of English back then. I decided to play it for the gallery. Needless to say how it all ended up. I bought every album in tape, vinyl and CD. I did not understand the lyrics. However the music spoke to me in that universal language: art. JJ Cale will always remain one of the most underrated musicians ever.
I came to the US in the mid 1990. My one regret is that I never made enough money to go see him in person.
