Smoke from a downshift blows across the grain
|
And the blackbirds are flyin across the golden plain
|
Im goin back to where it was I came
|
I got to find ol Joe before he loses it all
|
|
Last night in the cafe I wanted to hold your hand
|
So I told you with my eyes that I understand
|
That life sure aint easy here in this no mans land
|
I got to find ol Joe before he loses it all
|
|
Somewhere I believe theres a place for me
|
Down the road to destiny
|
Can you hear that eagle call?
|
I got to find ol Joe before he loses it all
|
|
The dogs go to barkin at the risin of the moon
|
And the highways a callin and Ill be listinen soon
|
Another weary rambler crazy as a loon
|
I got to find ol Joe before he loses it all
|
|
The motel up ahead has a vacancy sign
|
But Im travelin too hard to pay it any mind
|
Theres a rainbow in the clouds down ol highway 99
|
I gotta find ol Joe before he loses it all
|
|
Somewhere I believe theres a place for me
|
Down the road to destiny
|
Can you hear that eagle call?
|
I got to find ol Joe before he loses it all
|
|
The wild west was made with the blood of the brave
|
Where there was little to take and even less to save
|
Where they buried their heros in unmarked graves
|
I got to find ol Joe before he loses it all
|
|
You work all your life to get where you are
|
Then you throw it all away to chase some crazy star
|
While the prophet on the radio slings his guitar
|
I got to find ol Joe before he loses it all
|
|
Somewhere I believe theres a place for me
|
Down the road to destiny
|
Can you hear that eagle call?
|
I got to find ol Joe before he loses it all
|
|
The wild west was made from the blood of the brave
|
Dry as the creek bed, cracked with age
|
Where they buried their heros in unmarked graves
|
I got to find ol Joe before he loses it all
|

I Gotta Find Ol' Joe
