Call Me The Breeze
John Mayer Lyrics
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 carryin' 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
Nobody's hidin' fom me
I got that green light babe
I gotta keep movin' on
I got that green light babe
I gotta keep movin' on
I might go up to Califonia
Might go down to Georgia
I don't know.
The song "Call Me The Breeze" by John Mayer is a cover of the classic rockabilly hit by J.J. Cale. The lyrics talk about the singer's wandering and carefree spirit, as he is constantly moving forward with no attachments or obligations holding him back. The title refers to him being like a breeze, always moving and never staying in one place for too long.
In the first verse, the singer says that people call him the breeze because he keeps blowing down the road. This could be interpreted as him being a wanderer, traveling from place to place with ease. He also mentions that he doesn't have anyone with him and he isn't carrying any burdens or responsibilities.
The second verse reiterates the fact that nothing has changed about him or the weather. He doesn't have anyone to hide from and no one is hiding from him, implying that he isn't tied down to anyone or anything. He mentions that he has a "green light," meaning that he has the freedom to go wherever he wants. He mentions California and Georgia, suggesting that he has traveled to those places before or is planning to in the future.
Overall, the song celebrates the idea of living a carefree and adventurous life without any ties or limitations. The singer embraces his nomadic spirit and enjoys the freedom that he has to explore new places and experiences.

Would love to see John Mayer do more country covers. He’s talented enough to bring back some ole Johnny cash

John Mayer is like a gem in the music industry and always has been. His album is so relaxing and just amazing... my favourite xx
@sergesukhanov
How touching is that he mimicked JJ’s voice. I listened to JJ when I was 18. Now I am 41 and JM plays it! Rock-n-roll will never die, and as long as it lives, I will.
@genehenrylindgren
Anybody that thinks this is a country song doesn't know music. This is Tulsa blues at its best.
