City Girls (J.J. Cale)

City girls they're all right

They just want you for the night

But when the morning comes at dawn

City girls they all gone

You know the daylight can be sad

When you feel that you've been had

Only night time brings the price

City girl she thinks it's right

What's a poor boy going to do

If he wants a girl like you

Can't afford no diamond rings

Or all those other fancy things

Only one thing I can give

A song down where you live

I'll sing to you hear the sound

City girl please stay around

 

Drifters Wife (J.J. Cale)

Had me a woman down in Tennessee

Boy she used to love me

Free fever got me and I had to go

I never seen that woman no more

 

New York City is a place I been

I was there one time with a travellin' band

Young girl there wanted me to stay

I think she wanted me to pay

 

Roll it out, roll it in

Here we go down the road again

Drifters life is a drifters wife

Don't say I didn't tell you so

 

Travellin' man now he don't know

Only what he hears on the radio

Politics and money don't bother him

Only good lookin' women and a bottle of gin

 

Portland, Oregon, to the Mexican line

Boy let me tell you the women are fine

If you don't hang around there very long

They'll never ever know you're gone

Cowgirl in the sand (Neil Young)

Hello cowgirl in the sand

Is this place at your command

Can I stay here for a while

Can I see your sweet sweet smile

Old enough now to change your name

When so many love you is it the same?

It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game.

 

Hello ruby in the dust

Has your band begun to rust

After all the sin we've had

I was hopin' that we turn bad

Old enough now to change your name

When so many love you is it the same

It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game.

 

Hello woman of my dreams

This is not the way it seems

Purple words on a grey background

To be a woman and to be turned down

Old enough now to change your name

When so many love you is it the same

It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game.

San Tropez (Waters)

 

As I reach for a peach

Slide a rind down behind

The sofa in San Tropez.

Breakin’ a stick

with a brick on the sand.

Ridin’ a wave

In the wake of an old sedan.

Sleepin’ alone in the

Drone of the darkness,

Scratched by the sand that

Fell from my love,

Deep in my dreams and I

Still hear her callin’

" If you’re alone,

I’ll come home

 

Backward and homebound,

The pigeon, the dove,

Gone with the wind

And the rain, on an airplane.

Owning a home

With no silver spoon,

I’m drinking champagne

Like a good tycoon.

Sooner than wait for

A break in the weather,

I'll gather my far-flung

Thoughts together.

Speeding away

On the wind to a new day.

And if you're alone

I'll come home.

 

And I pause for a while

By a country style

And listen to the things they say.

Diggin' for gold

With a hoe in my hand.

Open a book

Take a look at the way things stand.

And you're leading me down

To the place by the sea.

I hear your soft voice

Calling to me.

Making a date for

Later by phone

And if you're alone

I'll come home.
