Little Joe

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
