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
 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
