SWING IT, JOE
music/words: bill mallonee

Drove the last few miles in the dark
Hit the foothills & then we slowed
You said: "Everything has changed;
Now you know."

The first thing that caught my eye:
Vacant hills & black-coal sky
Where once forest & the stars
were my home
When the temples of your youth
Their last stones are shaken loose
Ya' learn beauty has no useful-ness
for some

chorus:
Swing it, Joe; Yeah, swing it, Joe
When we go down? No one'll know
Breath a sigh & then ya' go
Swing it, Joe. Yeah, swing it, Joe

It's a *hardpan world from a hardpan start
You try to make some sense of it with a hardpan heart
But, you were like a hero walking straight outta the past
Just like Jesus...built to last.

chorus:
Swing it, Joe; Swing it, Joe
When we go down; No one'll know
Take a bow & then ya' blow
Swing it, Joe. Yeah, swing it, Joe

Kingdoms rise & kingdoms fall
'tween happy hour & last call
On this slow, sad crawl
to God only knows
Hit the foothills then we slowed
It's all bathed in halogen glow
You said: "Everything has changed."
"now you know..."

chorus:
Swing it, Joe; Swing it, Joe
When we go down; No one'll know
Take a bow & then ya' blow
Swing it, Joe. Yeah, swing it, Joe...
