Days Go By — текст песни (J. J. Cale)

When you light that funny cigarette

Would you pass it back to me

Im feeling a little down and out

And itll keep me company

Im just a long lost sinner

Living life here on the line

Ill give it right back to you

I know its not really mine

Now dont put it out, not right yet

Its burning pretty good

Maybe Ill 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

Theres electricity in the air

Boy, Im feeling really gone

Im feeling really cool

I think Ill have another one

Im just another fool

You know they say its illegal

But what isnt these days

No matter what you do

Therell 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

Theyre going to put me in a penitentiary

I must not be together

Look at the shape Im in

I just know people are saying

"hes looking awful thin"

I guess I can count my blessings

Though Ive always been this way

I guess Ill quit tomorrow

Maybe another day

Oo-oo, days go by

I guess Ill sit around and get real high

You know time has no absolute

Its a just seems like its spent

Everything has a tendency to be so warped and bent

While looking here and there

Im surprised to see

Everybodys gone here

Everybodys 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
