Lyrics of and My Thoughts on "Call Me the Breeze"

(comments in italics)

Who says three chords can't make a great song?  This boogie is built entirely on a standard blues riff in A, and what they do with it is astounding.  This song is not a Skynyrd original but this arrangement is so great it may as well be.  The song begins with an addicting riff before calming down slightly for the first verse:

Call me the breeze
I keep blowing down the road.
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowing down the road.
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load.

Ain't no change in the weather,
Ain't no changes with me.
Well there ain't no change in the weather,
Ain't no changes with me.
And I ain't hidin' from nobody,
Nobody's hidin' from me.
(Oh, that's the way it's supposed to be.)

First guitar solo, built over two blues progressions, then the third verse:

Well I got that green light baby,
I gotta keep movin' on.
Well I got that green light baby,
I gotta keep movin' on.
Well I might go out to California,
Might go down to Georgia, I don't know.

Now comes my favorite part--the guitars drop out and it's just the rhythm section with Billy Powell commanding the keyboards.  Then, out of nowhere, horns!!  After their awesome fill the guitars come back and it's time for the last verse:

Well I dig you Georgia peaches,
Makes me feel right at home.
Well now I dig you Georgia peaches,
Makes me feel right at home.
But I don't love no one woman,
So I can't stay in Georgia long.

Repeat first verse
Whoooooo!  Mr. Breeze!
