| 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
|
| 'Cause 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 |
