Race Car Joe
Adam Carroll
Capo 4
When the wheels are Frolling, he's aClivess
               G   C||
Going 94 in a '55-i
With a burning Fengine he would Amgo
Down the Gladewater GHighway Race Car CJoe
Past the Green Frog Fsign where they sold Cbeer
He takes his Gorders from an engiCneer
He tells the Ctool pushers which way to Amgo
It's one day's Gwork for Race Car CJoe
He's got the Camel points from one last drag
Before he takes the grandkids out to Six Flags
The sun has weathered where the wrinkles show
But the years ain't broken Race Car Joe
Solo
Restless dreams, oil fires, broken drill bits
On a blow out tire, there's nude strip joints
It's a holy row
He's seem 'em all Race Car Joe
Six foot give, East Texas style, brand new teeth
Now on a crooked smile
In a one-ton pickup, with a cancer glow
When he looks at you Race Car Joe
