Lobo - Little Joe Lyrics

(Dick Holler)

Little Joe they're out to get ya
Right or wrong they'll never let you go
And you know it's them or you
And since they swore
You'd never make it back alive
If they don't bring you down by 12
They're gonna bring you down by 5

Well you came straight out of Tucson
Such a man among the mice
She swore she's gonna marry you
Change your life to right
But you ain't about to settle down
For a hundred years or more
But you know she's right behind you
As your sneaking out the door

Little Joe she's out to get ya
Right or wrong she'll never let you go
Cos she knows it's you for her
And since she swore you'd
Never get away alive
If she don't bring you down by 12
She gonna bring you down by 5

Well you came straight out of Frisco
On a boat for Vietnam
And you try to justify it
Can you kill another man
And you swear you'll never fire a gun
But a bullet kills your friend
And you flip the safety off your gun
And get ready for the end

Well you came straight from Diego
With some medals and some stars
And you fight the war all over
In the honky tonks and bars
And a man who should know better
Tells you fighting is just for fools
And though you know he's right you kill him
Because you got no other rule
