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
