J. J. Cale Rio Lyrics

Rio Lyrics

Rio de Janeiro, hot wind of Brazilian nights

Rio de Janeiro, I tip my sombrero on a tan girl in the moonlight

Their close encounters make a man

Feel just right



Rio de Janeiro, the steamy place that you are

Rio de Janeiro, I've come to love you from afar

To touch the water of your sea

Feel your sensuality, walk your boulevards



Sao Paulo, Brazilia, I've been there before

They make me think of just a girl next door

They don't have your sexual groove

Rio, Rio puts me in that mood



Rio de Janeiro, your sultry rhythms get me up

Rio de Janeiro if I could drink from your cup

I need a shot, your pulse is hot

Rio, Rio you're so corrupt



I'm just a lonely caballero

I'm just a lonely, lonely man

I'm just a lonely caballero

Tryin' to make it to your land



Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro

To touch the water of your sea

Feel your sensuality, walk your boulevards
