Lyrics
MOANIN? TO JOAN
Ann Marie Mulhearn Sayer
She lives with the grand folks and a husband who works hard.
They got two young babies and a swing set in the back yard.
I live with my boyfriend in the middle of a hurricane,
Very unstable and very rarely sane.
I got into the real estate game; no banker would bale me out.
And I?m still tryin? to write that song that people will talk about.
She takes care of our mom and dad while raisin? that family,
Somehow she?s always there for me.
Chorus
(Moanin? to Joan)
Things get better when I?m talkin? to my friend,
(Moanin? to Joan)
Problems shrink as funny anecdotes begin,
(Moanin? to Joan)
We talk all mornin? but by the afternoon,
I?m back on the phone moanin? to Joan.
Verse 2
Sometimes we talk about where we?re headin? I?m always changin? my mind.
She steps in to give me direction just to keep this girl in line.
Sometimes we talk about TV movies or someone we both know
And I?m always happy just to hear her say ?hello?.
Chorus
(Moanin? to Joan)
Things get better when I?m talkin? to my friend,
(Moanin? to Joan)
Problems shrink as funny anecdotes begin,
(Moanin? to Joan)
We talk afternoon, but when the evenin? comes
I?m back on the phone moanin? to Joan.
Bridge
If I listen to her advice, I know I?ll make it soon
And I?m gunna buy her what ever she wants
At least a portable phone
Or maybe I?ll send her on a tour of the world
Just to give her a break from me.
But, I?ll throw in a phone card just in case she?s free.
Chorus
(Moanin? to Joan)
Things get better when I?m talkin? to my friend,
(Moanin? to Joan)
Problems shrink as funny anecdotes begin,
(Moanin? to Joan)
We talk evenin? by by the mornin? sun,
I?m back on the phone moanin? to Joan.
