John Prine - Safety Joe lyrics

I hate it when that happens to me

John Prine

Well I once knew a man who was going insane

He let love chase him right up a tree

It took the police and a fire truck

Just to bring him back down

Oh, I hate it when that happens to me

It made the front page of the paper

The gossip tongues wagged

Why they even showed it all on TV

Now if he should live forever

He won't live it down

Oh, I hate it when that happens to me

Dogs bites Man

Man loses girl

Oh what did he ever do

Wrong in this world?

Dogs bites Man

Man loses girl

Oh, what have I every done

Wrong in this world?

There once was a big buzz all over town

About a movie where the killer goes free

Now, he's got every one's sympathy

Oh, I hate it when that happens to me

Yes, I hate it when that happens to me
