"Call Me the Breeze" is a song by Lynyrd Skynyrd from their album Second Helping. It was written and originally recorded by Oklahoma Blues guitarist, J.J. Cale. Lynyrd Skynyrd decided to cover it when guitarist Gary Rossington came up with a riff that distinguished it from the original. Cale is famous among musicians, but most people have never heard of him. Eric Clapton covered some of his songs, including "Cocaine", "After Midnight", and "Travellin' Light." This was one of the few cover songs Skynyrd recorded. They recorded another Cale song, "Same Old Blues", on their 1976 album Gimme Back My Bullets. During the sessions for this track, John Lennon came by the studio to say hello.

The live version featured in the album One More from the Road is a playable song in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock in Casey Lynch's setlist. The song also appears in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock Mobile More Music in Pandora's setlist (tIer 3) without the "(Live)" tag.

Lyrics

Call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Oh well now they call me the breeze, baby

I keep blowin' 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 in me
Well, there ain't no change in the weather, uh-uh
Ain't no changes in me

And I ain't hidin' from nobody
Nodody's hidin' from me
Atlanta, that's the way it's s'posed to be
FREEFORM
FREEFORM

Well, I got that green light, babe
I got to keep movin' on
Well, I got that green light baby, yeah
I got to keep movin' on

Well, I might go out to California
Might go down to Georgia I don't know
Billy Powell

FREEFORM
Billy boy!
FREEFORM

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
Yeah they do

But I don't love me no one woman
So I can't stay in Georgia long
Ain't that the truth

Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well, now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road

I ain't got me nobody, oh no
I don't carry me no load
Oh whoa yeah, Mister Breeze
Thank you, woo!
