Anyway JJ Cale Blows
The old man and me were travellin’ light.
“I can’t live here,” he said. Guess I lose, because this girl of mine, is livin’ here too.
“We’ll be leaving in the morning.” But I wanted to stay around, so I asked to call the doctor.
“It’s hard to tell, but I really do think: you got something,” he said. He must have been the sensitive kind when he saw my crying eyes.
“So, can we stay around? Everything will be alright.”
I wish I had not said that, because at this moment we are ridin’ home, to the artificial paradise.
