Joe Lyrics by Alabama Shakes

Sound & Color (Deluxe Edition)

2015

[Verse 1]
Joe
What am I to do?
I been all around this world looking for something like you
Oh, Joe
You know I'll always roam
But I still ain't got what I want

[Verse 2]
Here
Yes, I'm here, and I'm there
I get around, Joe
But I ain't goin' nowhere
Oh, Lord
Why do you choose to keep me so alone
When I still ain't got what I want?

[Chorus]
No, I still ain't got what I want
No, I still ain't got what I want
No, I still haven't got what I want
If I ain't got you

[Verse 3]
Now
They put me on an airplane
Tell me, flyin' off to somewhere that I ain't never been
Oh, you know
See he always kept me goin'
But I still ain't got what I want

[Bridge]
Now Joe
You know God's given me so many things
He fulfilled my many wishes
And I have achieved my many dreams
But oh, Lord
Why, he's the only thing I want
But I ain't gonna get what I want

[Chorus]
No, I still ain't got what I want
No, I still ain't got what I want
No, I still ain't got what I want
If I ain't got you

[Outro]
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you
