Lyrics

Joe sat on the corner
Playing songs both day and night
People they'd pass by him
Sometimes drop a dime

This is what his hear loved
Not to mention his mind
There was no amount of money
That could change his mind

Joe he played the blues
On the corner of 4th and 9
And the tunes that he played
They disappeared into the night

Joe he played the blues
On the corner of 4th and 9
And the tunes that he played
They disappeared into the night

And the crowds they'd surround him
Wondering what they'd find
Just a man and his old guitar
Playing songs into the night

His passion pushed away his family
He was penniless and alone
But he'd do it all again if he had to
Cause the music's in his soul
