Come On Joe

Well' it's a long' hot night

And the stars are shining kinda extra bright

Sitting on the back porch glidin'

Whetting my appetite

Well' I'm a six-pack high

And start missing the light of my baby's eyes

Wasn't it beautiful' the kind of a soul they said

Would never die

Well' it's muggy in the shack

And the backwoods are black

Cause the clouds hid the moon away

The light from my cigarette flickers in the dark

The only way she knows I'm here

Then suddenly the sounds of the fiddles and accordions

Sweetly begin to play and I can almost hear her sweet voice say

Come on Joe' just count to ten

Pull yourself together again

And come on Joe' you gotta get hold of this mood you're in

Come on Joe' you gotta be strong

You're still young and life goes on to carry on

Til we're together again

Hey' I know she's right

But it's hard to fight when you're hurtin' so

I tried to walk out of that door before but I just can't go

With the tears and the laughter in every rafter in every room

Wasn't it beautiful

Wasn't it the kind of happiness and glow

Come on Joe' just count to ten

Pull yourself together again

An' come on Joe' you gotta get hold

Of this mood you're in

Come on Joe' you gotta be strong

You're still young an' life goes on

To carry on till we're together again

Come on Joe

Hey' come on Joe

To carry on 'til we're together again
