INTRO: A D A D A D
WELL, IT'S A LONG, HOT NIGHT
AND THE STARS ARE SHINING KINDA [A]EXTRA BRIGHT
SITTIN' ON THE BACK PORCH GLIDIN'
WHETTING MY [D]APPETITE[A]
WELL [D]I'M A SIX PACK HIGH
AND START MISSING THE LIGHT OF MY [A]BABY'S EYES
WASN'T IT BEAUTIFUL, THE KIND OF SOUL THEY
SAID WOULD NEVER [D]DI[D/A]E[D/F#]
WELL IT'S [G]MUGGY IN THE SHACK
AND THE BACKWOODS ARE BLACK
'CAUSE THE [D]CLOUDS HID THE MOON AWAY
THE [A]LIGHT FROM MY CIGARETTE FLICKERS IN THE DARK
THE [D]ONLY WAY SHE KNOWS I'M HER[D/A]E[D/F#]
THEN [G]SUDDENLY THE SOUNDS OF THE FIDDLES AND ACCORDIONS
[D]SWEETLY BEGIN TO PLAY AND [A]I CAN ALMOST HEAR
HER SWEET VOICE [D]SAY
CHORUS:
[Bm]COME ON [A]JOE, [G]COUNT TO [A]TEN,
[D]PULL [A]YOURSELF [D]TOGETHER [A]AGAIN
AND COME ON [A]JOE, YOU GOTTA GET HOLD
OF THIS [D]MOOD THAT YOU'RE IN
[Bm]COME ON [A]JOE, YOU [G]GOTTA BE [A]STRONG
YOU'RE S[D]TILL [A]YOUNG AND [D]LIFE GOES [A]ON, TO CARRY ON
'TIL WE'RE TOGETHER [D]AGAIN
HEY I KNOW SHE'S RIGHT, BUT IT'S HARD TO FIGHT
WHEN YOU'RE HURTIN' SO
I TRIED TO WALK OUT THE DOOR BEFORE
BUT I JUST CAN'T GO
WITH THE TEARS AND THE LAUGHTER
IN EVERY RAFTER, IN EVERY ROOM
WASN'T IT BEAUTIFUL, WASN'T IT THE KIND OF HAPPINESS AND GLOW
REPEAT CHORUS
WELL, IT'S A LONG, HOT NIGHT
AND THE STARS ARE SHINING KINDA [A]EXTRA BRIGHT
SITTIN' ON THE BACK PORCH GLIDIN'
