about

This was a song I wrote about some Joe outside of Monks Kafee Pub in Dubuque IA. A song about his struggles with drinking and drug addiction and his path to a better place. Kind of seemed like a midwest ope moment listening to him ramble. Not even my trusty PBR could keep me sane through that convo.

lyrics

I met a man named Joe outside the local bar.
One of those guys who looked too far gone for rememberin.
He talked on about passion and latest obsession.
But back and forth his mind went from one attraction.
From one attraction.

Flask in hand the man was ranting.
Thinking 100 miles per hour
his soul was lost in some dark devour,
Once a child, his father would holler

it's like the fast life slow life hoe life no life nowhere to go,
I feel like green light red light midwest ope I’m stuck in the snow.
Always got these thoughts of rights no fights no rights cycles of woes
Penny pinching murky water sipping, raw fishing til the final blow..

Joe got tired of his same old mistakes.
Went west to find a better place.
Met a lil lady Julie juul
proposed to her on the morning dew.
Moved to the city and ran with the wrong crew.
Trifling woman always passing through..
Always passing through
