The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Joe Knows How to Live

Blue Monday morning at the factory gate

Almost time to clock in

The boys were bettin' that Joe wouldn't show

'Cause they had seen him over the weekend

He had four new tire on his old Cadillac

Betty the waitress and some clothes in the back

A dashboard full of road maps of Mexico

Yeah, Joe knows how to live

He said, "Women were made to love, money is made to spend

Life is something, buddy, you will never live again"

Yeah, you've got to admit it

Joe's knows how to live

And now they'll be down at the ocean

He and Betty stretched out somewhere

The only blue in his life is the blue moonlight

Bouncin' off Betty's blonde hair

I can just see 'em rollin' 'round on the sand

I never thought I was a jealous man

But when I think what he's doin' that I'm not, hah

Lord, I'm jealous about it

He said, "Women were made to love, money is made to spend

Life is something, buddy, you will never live again"

Yeah, you've got to admit it

Joe's knows how to live

Let's go to Mexico

Now Betty's back home with her mother

Joe's back on the assembly line

But he brings in his pictures and his Mexican hat

Just to remind us sometime

That women were made to love, money is made to spend

Life is something, buddy, you will never live again

Yeah, you've got to admit it

Joe's knows how to live

Yeah, you've got to admit it

Joe's knows how to live

That boy's a genius

He sure is crazy

Ooo la la la la la la
