Just Like Joanne
|
By Dave Sharp
Strayed down New Orleans town I didn't think I'd be there long A little while, southern style Maybe pick me up a couple of new songs Set down in a neighborhood bar Just next to a dyed-blonde The bartender inquired politely Ya'll here today to ride out the storm Said, excuse me, sir I was thinkin' of movin' on And does the weather 'round here Really come on so strong He smiled, and with his hand Said, here, meet miss Joanne She's been around this place Ever since '71.
Said I guess I'll have to stay Ain't much choice about it anyway Now just like Joanne I'm gonna make it outta here someday.
Now my mind's turnin' circles I can't find the door Somethin' must have loosened me up I really don't remember for sure I was hangin' round on spain last night Across from the corner store I think I even saw Joanne down there She had a friend Oh, boy, she was ready to ball She had way too much to say About nothin' much at all It was all I could do To focus in on her scar She said we're headed out to the lake tonight Take a drive up by the shore And we can take it easy It's only just a quarter til four I said, thank you just the same It's gettin' too late anyway Just like Joanne I knew she was playin' the game
Said I think I'll have to stay Not much choice about it anyway Just like Joanne I'm gonna make it outta here someday
