[00:16.61]Well' it's a long' hot night
[00:18.68]And the stars are shining kinda extra bright
[00:22.90]
[00:24.90]Sitting on the back porch glidin'
[00:28.36]Whetting my appetite
[00:31.16]
[00:32.92]Well' I'm a six-pack high
[00:34.75]And start missing the light of my baby's eyes
[00:39.47]
[00:41.39]Wasn't it beautiful' the kind of a soul they said
[00:48.93]Would never die
[00:51.00]
[00:53.55]Well' it's muggy in the shack
[00:55.52]And the backwoods are black
[00:57.32]Cause the clouds hid the moon away
[01:00.86]
[01:01.80]The light from my cigarette flickers in the dark
[01:05.80]The only way she knows I'm here
[01:09.83]Then suddenly the sounds of the fiddles and accordions
[01:14.14]Sweetly begin to play and I can almost hear her sweet voice say
[01:23.88]
[01:26.29]Come on Joe' just count to ten
[01:30.21]Pull yourself together again
[01:34.26]And come on Joe' you gotta get hold of this mood you're in
[01:41.20]
[01:42.51]Come on Joe' you gotta be strong
[01:46.44]You're still young and life goes on to carry on
[01:52.61]Til we're together again
[01:55.33]
[01:58.30]Hey' I know she's right
[02:00.84]But it's hard to fight when you're hurtin' so
[02:04.95]
[02:06.81]I tried to walk out of that door before but I just can't go
[02:13.44]
[02:14.80]With the tears and the laughter in every rafter in every room
[02:21.67]
[02:23.22]Wasn't it beautiful
[02:25.76]
[02:27.32]Wasn't it the kind of happiness and glow
[02:32.92]
[02:35.52]Come on Joe' just count to ten
[02:39.37]Pull yourself together again
[02:43.40]An' come on Joe' you gotta get hold
[02:47.06]Of this mood you're in
[02:49.47]
[02:51.71]Come on Joe' you gotta be strong
[02:55.65]You're still young an' life goes on
[02:59.62]To carry on till we're together again
[03:05.02]
[03:07.99]Come on Joe
[03:11.35]
[03:23.65]Hey' come on Joe
[03:25.66]
[03:32.29]To carry on 'til we're together again
