Bobby Bare - Tired of the Road Joe lyrics

(Bob McDill)

I've been on the road twenty years
Ten thousand nights and a million beers
But I'm tired of the road Joe it's no fun anymore Joe
I'm savin' my money and I'll be goin' home soon.

I've lived good played with the best
Stayed up for days and never got no rest
But I'm gettin' old Joe tired of the road Joe
I'm savin' my money I'll be goin' home soon.

Ain't it funny how things don't work out
The way you had 'em planned
One day you just turn around
And it's slipped right through your hand.

These bandstand lights they won't erase
The wrinkles in my hand and the lines in my face
But I'm gettin' old Joe tired of the road Joe
I'm savin' my money and I'll be goin' home soon...
