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 of wrong turns, did county time
I do everything I can to stay between the lines

I got a couple of good buddies that all stop in
Say "it's good to see you brother, man, how you been?"
I can't complain, I'm doin' alright
Sleepin' pretty good, staying dry
Thank the Lord every mornin' with a sweet Amen
For how far I've come from, where I been
So here's to good days, 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 of good buddies that all stop in
Say "it's good to see you brother, man, how you been?"
I can't complain, I'm doin' alright
Sleepin' pretty good, staying dry
Thank the Lord every mornin' with a sweet Amen
For how far I've come from, where I been
So here's to good days, better tomorrows
And a light, at the end of the bottle

Here's to good days, here's to livin'
And here's to old sins, being forgiven

And a bunch of good buddies that all drop in
Say "it's good to see you brother, man, how you been?"
I can't complain, I'm doin' alright
Sleepin' pretty good, staying dry
Thank the Lord every mornin' with a sweet Amen
For how far I've come from, where I been
So here's to good days, better tomorrows
And a light, at the end of the bottle
At the end of the bottle
