Cutting the Breeze

[Intro]

Hey

[Verse 1]

I met this man

On the border of Spain

It was a sunny afternoon

I said, "Can I talk to you?"

So I pulled my van to the side

He said, "I like your smile"

I said, "I like yours too"

But there was nothing going on, no

[Chorus]

Just cutting the breeze

Nothing I need

Fighting to be free

With just enough time

To have a smoke or two

[Post-Chorus]

Hey

Hmm, yes

[Verse 2]

He had no idea

Of the songs I sing

He had no clue

Of the weight I'd been wearing

Told stories of the wars he fought

His love affairs and "how we got caught"

He's gonna build a house in Mexico now

'Cause he's finally learnt to let it all go

That's why I'm here

[Chorus]

Just cutting the breeze

Yes, see, I

Nothing we need

Fighting to be free

With just enough time

To have a smoke or two

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah

Or three or four or whatever fits you

Oh-oh

Oh-oh, yeah

[Verse 3]

Driving along in my van

No thoughts to figure out, no master plan

No stressings and no demand and I like it that way

I had to get away, I had to, I had to

[Chorus]

Feel the breeze

I had to feel it

Fighting to be free

Yes, I was

There was nothing that we need

Nothing that we need

Except a smoke or two

Or maybe a beer and a few

Cutting the breeze

Nothing that we need, nothing we need

Fighting to be free, yes, we were

With just enough time

To have a smoke or two
