Days Go By - J.J. Cale

 

J.J. Cale  
1938년 미국 출신의 블루스 기타리스트로 연주인들이 가장 존경하는 
음악인들의 우상 J. J. 케일. 1970년 에릭 클랩튼이 커버한 “After Mid
-night” 의 작곡자로 7년 후에야 세상에 에릭 클랩튼에 의해 이름이 
알려진 계기가 된 그는 1971년 대망의 데뷔 앨범 “Naturally” 를 발매
하고 현재까지도 꾸준히 음악적 능력을 보여주는 뮤지션.
허식을 벗겨 버린 심플한 사운드는 씹으면 씹을수록 맛이 나며 블루스
/ R&B / 컨트리라고 하는 루트뮤직을 알맞게 브랜드한 음악성은 실로 
깊은 맛을 풍부하게 내고 있다. Guitar Man('96) 앨범에서 선곡합니다.



Days Go By         

When you light that funny cigarette
Would you pass it back to me
I'm feeling a little down and out
And it'll keep me company
I'm just a long lost sinner
Living life here on the line
I'll give it right back to you
I know it's not really mine
Now don't put it out, not right yet
It's burning pretty good
Maybe i'll have one more toke
You think i should
Oo-oo, days go by
I just sit around and get real high
Oo-oo, what a glow
I just hang out, they come and go
Hey, the walls are starting to move
The floor is way down there
What a buzz it is
There's electricity in the air
Boy, i'm feeling really gone
I'm feeling really cool
I think i'll have another one
I'm just another fool
You know they say it's illegal
But what isn't these days
No matter what you do
There'll be somebody on your case
Oo-oo, days go by
It just seems like i sit around and get high
Oo-oo, shame on me
They're going to put me in a penitentiary
I must not be together
Look at the shape i'm in
I just know people are saying
"he's looking awful thin"
I guess i can count my blessings
Though i've always been this way
I guess i'll quit tomorrow
Maybe another day
Oo-oo, days go by
I guess i'll sit around and get real high
You know time has no absolute
It's a just seems like it's spent
Everything has a tendency to be so warped and bent
While looking here and there
I'm surprised to see
Everybody's gone here
Everybody's gone but me
Oo-oo, days go by
I just sit around and get real high
Oo-oo, what a glow
I just hang out, they come and go
