Artist: joe ely
Song: i gotta find ol' joe
Smoke from a down shift blows across the grain
And the blackbirds are flyin' across the golden plain
I'm 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 had to hold your hand
And I told you with my eyes, honey, I understand
That life sure ain't easy here in this no man's land
I got to find 'ol Joe before he loses it all
Somewhere I believe there's a place for me
Down the road to destiny
I think I 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 highway is callin', I'll be listenin' 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 I'm travelin' too hard to pay it any mind
There's a rainbow in the clouds down 'ol highway 99
I gotta find 'ol Joe before he loses it all
Somewhere I believe there's a place for me
Down the road to destiny
I think I hear that eagle call
I got to find 'ol Joe before he loses it all
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 heroes 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 there's a place for me
There we make our own destiny
Can you hear that eagle call?
