Lyrics

The name?s Joe Sawyer and there?s not much to tell you
I?ve got a job and a place with my wife Halle
I had some big plans once but now that?s all over
Suffice to say this guitar ain?t getting younger

Not a great man, not a bad man
Not a king maker, not a heart breaker
Just Joe Sawyer

When I was twenty-two I hit the highway
I headed westward to make my name some way
West, where they make wine out of water
West, where they say that time don?t matter

Not a great man, not a bad man
Not a king maker, not a heart breaker
Just Joe Sawyer

Never you mind, I?m better off than others
One day you?ll find
Success was not some name you made
It was just a song you sang and played

And late at night on the porch when summer?s almost over
I sit and play my guitar, all night forever
And Halle sings with me, so sweet and plaintive
You know those harmonies, they were all I ever wanted

Not a great man, not a bad man
Not a king maker, not a heart breaker
Just Joe Sawyer
Just Joe Sawyer
