Lonesome Joe Lyrics

I know of a man

They call him Lonesome Joe

There may be others like him

But he's the only one of which I know

He is a lonely boy on the verge of giving out his love

If he only had an outlet

A catalyst for needed change

With a feckless silhouette

A closed mouth with an open heart

And a radical mindset

He fails to act when he gets his cue

And he fails to pay when his bills are due

And he doesn't really know what else to do

And so he stays a lonely boy

And he's a bad example

He don't play by his own damn rule

He's a walking contradiction

And an incorrect depiction of himself

And all the things that he swears he tries to be

And he takes even though all he wants to do is give

He lusts even though all he wants to do is love

He dives deep even though he stays on the shore

He holds back when he wants to explore

Who you are and how you want to live

And he wants to get out

He badly wants to break free

But deep down you know he's a coward inside

And getting out will be no cup of tea

And he dreams of how he'll flee

And he's a bad example

He don't play by his own damn rule

He's a walking contradiction

And an incorrect depiction of himself

And all the things that he swears he tries to be

And he takes even though all he wants to do is give

He lusts even though all he wants to do is love

He dives deep even though he stays on the shore

He holds back when he wants to explore

Who you are and how you want to live

I know of a man

They call him Lonesome Joe
