Ely Joe I Gotta Find Ol` Joe Lyrics

I Gotta Find Ol` Joe Lyrics

Smoke from a downshift blows across the grain

And the blackbirds are flyin across the golden plain

Im 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 wanted to hold your hand

So I told you with my eyes that I understand

That life sure aint easy here in this no mans land

I got to find ol Joe before he loses it all

	

Somewhere I believe theres a place for me

Down the road to destiny

Can you 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 highways a callin and Ill be listinen 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 Im travelin too hard to pay it any mind

Theres a rainbow in the clouds down ol highway 99

I gotta find ol Joe before he loses it all



Somewhere I believe theres a place for me

Down the road to destiny

Can you hear that eagle call?

I got to find ol Joe before he loses it all



The 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 heros 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 theres a place for me

Down the road to destiny

Can you hear that eagle call?

I got to find ol Joe before he loses it all



The wild west was made from the blood of the brave

Dry as the creek bed, cracked with age

Where they buried their heros in unmarked graves

I got to find ol Joe before he loses it all
