J.J. Cale - Santa Cruz lyrics

Oo-wee how did I lose Talkin' about a night in Santa Cruz Oo-wee how did I lose Talkin' about a night in Santa Cruz Well I came to coast from L.A. Just to give a little music to boo me away Hey J.J. can you play Cocaine Do After Midnight it's all the same Oo-wee how did I lose Talkin' about a night in Santa Cruz Oo-wee how did I lose I'll tell you about the night in Santa Cruz Well we didn't play long it booed too soon I can't do right no matter what you do A girl in the crowd, at the finale Shouted at me had I even turned Another man left 'cause he didn't stay long I thought we had played his favorite song Hey you, pull that weight A soon as it's cleaned up then I'll fade away My friends and I hope you're glad to see Me and friends coming off the street Play, Richard I don't mean a man can't lose Just stay by the night in Santa Cruz Just stay by the night in Santa Cruz I don't mean a man can't lose
