Joe

I got a job and my name’s Joe
Spend my days at the Texaco
Never show up late, never show up drunk
‘Cause when I get half lit I’m a loaded gun

Made a couple wrong turns, did county time
Now I do everything I can to stay between the lines

I got a couple good buddies that all stop in
Say, “It’s good to see ya brother, man how ya been?”
I can’t complain, I’m doing alright
Sleeping pretty good and staying dry
I thank the Lord every morning with a sweet amen
For how far I come from where I been
So here’s to good days and better tomorrows
And a light at the end of the bottle

Some battles are fought on foreign shores
And some are fought behind closed doors
Some fall from grace
Some lose their wings
Some find the peace salvation brings

I got a couple good buddies that all stop in
Say, “It’s good to see ya brother, man how ya been?”
I can’t complain, I’m doing alright
Sleeping pretty good and staying dry
I thank the Lord every morning with a sweet amen
For how far I come from where I been
So here’s to good days and better tomorrows
And a light at the end of the bottle

Here’s to good days, here’s to living
Here’s to old sins being forgiven

And a bunch of good buddies that all drop in
Say, “It’s good to see ya brother, man how ya been?”
I can’t complain, I’m doing alright
Sleeping pretty good and staying dry
I thank the Lord every morning with a sweet amen
For how far I come from where I been
So here’s to good days and better tomorrows
And a light at the end of the bottle
