George Strait - Come on Joe lyrics
[George Strait - Come on Joe lyrics]
Well, it's a long, hot night
And the stars are shining kinda extra bright
Sitting on the back porch gliding
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 till we're together again
Hey, I know she's right
But, it's hard to fight
When you're hurting 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 hey come on Joe
To carry on till we're together again
And the stars are shining kinda extra bright
Sitting on the back porch gliding
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 till we're together again
Hey, I know she's right
But, it's hard to fight
When you're hurting 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 hey come on Joe
To carry on till we're together again
