Come On Joe

It's a long hot night and the stars are shinin' kinda extra bright Sittin' on the back porch glider, whettin' my appetite Well, I'm a six pack high, I start missin' the light of my baby's eyes ) Wasn't it beautiful, the kind of soul they said would never die It's a-muggy in the shack and the backwoods are black Cause the clouds hid the moon away The light from my cigarette flickerin' in the dark Is the only way she knows I'm here And suddenly the sounds of a fiddle and accordion Sweetly begin to play and I can almost hear her sweet voice say Chorus: Come on Joe, let's count to ten Pull yourself together again Come on Joe, you gotta get over this mood you're in Come on Joe, you gotta be strong You're still young and life goes on So carry on till 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 that door but I just can't go With the tears and the laughter in every rafter of every room Wasn't it beautiful, wasn't it the kind of happiness in bloom It's a-muggy in the shack and the backwoods are black Cause the clouds hid the moon away The light from my cigarette flckerin' in the dark Is the only way she knows I'm here And suddenly the sounds of a fiddle and accordian Sweetly begin to play and I can almost hear her sweet voice say Chorus
