John Weldon "J. J." Cale (December 5, 1938 – July 26, 2013) was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Though he avoided the limelight, his influence as a musical artist has been acknowledged by figures such as Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, Waylon Jennings, and Eric Clapton, who described him as one of the most important artists in rock history. He is one of the originators of the Tulsa sound, a loose genre drawing on blues, rockabilly, country, and jazz. In 2008, Cale and Clapton received a Grammy Award for their album The Road to Escondido. more »

Well, I've been out on 
The street since yesterday
Been looking for 
The woman that got away
A long-legged thing 
With a red dress on
The kind of woman 
You can't leave alone
Listen, if you see her, 
Send her my way
Looking for the woman 
That got away
The last time I seen her 
She was looking good
I had a feeling 
That she understood
She slipped through my fingers 
In the middle of the night
I've gotta find my woman 
And treat her right
Listen, if you see her, 
Send her my way
Looking for the woman 
That got away
If I ever get my hands 
On that woman again
I'm gonna lock my door 
And keep her in
She won't do no travelling, 
Won't follow me 'round
I'm gonna keep my woman 
And leave town
