Come on Joe Lyrics by George Strait

Strait Out of the Box, Pt. 2

2006

[Verse 1]
Well, it's a long, hot night
And the stars are shining kinda extra bright
Sitting on the back porch gliding
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
[Verse 2]
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
Till we're together again
[Verse 3]
Hey, I know she's right
But it's hard to fight when you're hurting 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]
[Outro]
Come on Joe
Hey, come on Joe
To carry on till we're together again
