Strait George - Come On Joe lyrics

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

Chorus:

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

Chorus

Come on Joe

Hey, come on Joe

To carry on 'til we're together again
