Eddy Raven - Joe Knows How to Live Lyrics
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 tires on that old Cadillac
Betty the waitress and some clothes in the back
A dashboard full of roadmaps to 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"
Oh, I've got to admit it
Joe sure 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
Woah, and 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
Oh, I'm jealous a lot
He said, "Women were made to love
Money is made to spend
Life is something, buddy
You will never live again"
Oh, I've got to admit it
Joe sure knows how to live
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
Women were made to love
Money is made to spend
Life is something, buddy
You will never live again
Oh, I've got to admit it
Joe sure knows how to live
Yeah, I hate to admit it
Joe sure knows how to live
They would have fired me if I'd done that
Another thing I don't see is how Betty got away from Mama
You think Joe's wife knows about that yet?
