lyrics

old joe, when you gonna go, away, away, away?
ya may be right in the middle of the night
i never get a chance to say

dialogue with a demagogue, never get in edgeways
captain's log with an old bullfrog
never see the light of day

if you don't see a light in the middle of the night
better just stay away
we be holding forth with some whiskey on the porch
shooting shit until the morning breaks

I solicited advice and a bowl of beans and rice
i brought tobacco, joe brought the spice
then the waitress reappears, she's singing in my ear
i must be wrong for you to be so right

I solicited advice and a bowl of beans and rice
Ibrought tobacco, joe brought the spice
then the smoke began to clear; there's ringing in my ears
i must be wrong, for you to be so right
