Joan

Butch Walker

Joan moved away to Colorado

said she found god and a boyfriend as well

one that won't hit her or make her feel shallow

there's a lot to learn about Joan



before I moved in, Joan had a fling with the landlord so she got to live stay for free

I'm not a genius but I figured out

there's a lot to learn from Joan



and after all this time, you were waiting on the ride, to stop at the place where they slowly misplaced your life...go get it right



I went to the closet to get dressed for work

when I spotted a box I had not seen before

with a box of all kinds of letters that never got sent to a guy in Colorado since 1994,

and I know it's wrong but I sat and opened

in no certain order a letter or two

she talked about blisters and bruises of anger

and she bought a handgun to learn how to shoot,

and the last letter said that she had to get out

but I couldn't make out the rest of the note,

from the blood stains all over,

the page of the letters.

there's a lot to learn

and there's a lot I learned about Joan



and after all this time, you were waiting on the ride, to stop at the place where you slowly misplaced your life, oh and after all this time, you were waiting on the ride, to stop at the place where they slowly misplaced your life...go get it right

go get it right,

go get it right,

go get it right.
