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
