Racecar Joe

E

[Verse]
                    A              E
When the wheels are rolling, he's alive
       B        E
Doin' 94 in a 55
               A               C#m
With a burnin' engine, he would go
                    B       A       E
Down the Gladewater highway, Racecar Joe
                    A                    E
Past the Green Frog sign, where they sold beer
             B                  E
He takes his orders, from an engineer
             A                            C#m
And he tells the tool pushers which way to go
               B        A        E
That's one day's work for Racecar Joe

[Verse]
                    A                   E
He's got the Camel points from one last drag
       B                                E
'fore he takes the grandkids out to Six Flags
               A                            C#m
And the sun has weathered where the wrinkles show
               B           A       E
But the years ain't broken Racecar Joe

[Solo]
A  E  B  E  A  C#m  B  A  E

[Verse]
                 A                    E
There's restless dreams, there's oil fires,
               B                           E
there's broken drill bits, on a blown out tire
       A                                C#m
there's  nude strip joints, it's a holy row
               B   A        E
He's seem 'em all, Racecar Joe

[Verse]
                A              E
He's six foot five, East Texas style,
               B                      E
got brand new teeth now, on a crooked smile
               A               C#m
In a one-ton pickup, with the cancer glow
               B        A        E
When he looks at you, Racecar Joe
               B        A        E
When he laughs with you, Racecar Joe
              B        A        E
When he smiles at you, Racecar Joe
