J.J. Cale

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 we're living on borrowed time, Lord
Can you give us another day
Yes we're living on borrowed time, Lord
Can you give us another day
Our chance of survival is slim, it's what they say
Yes we're living on borrowed time, Lord
Can you give us another day
We gotta hold ourselves together, 
But there ain't no guarantee
We gotta hold ourselves together, 
But there ain't no guarantee
Our chance of survival is slim, many plea
We gotta hold ourselves together, 
But there ain't no guarantee
Yes I've seen many people down 
On their knees to pray
Yes I've seen many people 
On their knees to pray
They say our chance of survival is slim, 
It's what they say
Yes we're living on borrowed time, Lord
Can you give us another day
