Joe

Del McCoury

[Verse 1]
I'll tell you 'bout a man I know
He's lean and tall and his name is Joe
If trouble comes around he's in the middle
He sing and play everything, but the fiddle

[Verse 2]
I went to see him play, the place was dark and loud
They didn't come to sip, it was a drinkin' crowd
My eyes they burned from the smoky cloud
It's a place you walk in and find your way out

[Chorus]
He's a born singer
A big star, he's a dead ringer
He's a born fighter
No one I know has a future that's brighter

[Verse 3]
The music was good, boy the band was tight
Joe was singin' the blues, he was a-doin' 'em right
A better sound I hadn't heard in years
But in the back of my mind, I had some fears

[Verse 4]
In the back of the room I heard someone shout
In two seconds time a big fight broke out
It gave the show a little different twist
Joe left the stage swingin' his fists

[Chorus]
He's a born singer
A big star, he's a dead ringer
He's a born fighter
No one I know has a future that's brighter

[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
If you think he can sing, you oughta see him fight
He was quick as a cat, it was a sight
He knocked 'em dead, in more ways than one
When they all went down, he said ain't this fun?

[Chorus]
He's a born singer
A big star, he's a dead ringer
He's a born fighter
No one I know has a future that's brighter

No one I know has a future that's brighter
