Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

When the wheels are rolling, he's alivess

Going 94 in a '55-i

With a burning engine he would go

Down the Gladewater Highway Race Car Joe

Past the Green Frog sign where they sold beer

He takes his orders from an engineer

He tells the tool pushers which way to go

It's one day's work for Race Car Joe

He's got the Camel points from one last drag

Before he takes the grandkids out to Six Flags

The sun has weathered where the wrinkles show

But the years ain't broken Race Car Joe

Solo

Restless dreams, oil fires, broken drill bits

On a blow out tire, there's nude strip joints

It's a holy row

He's seem 'em all Race Car Joe

Six foot give, East Texas style, brand new teeth

Now on a crooked smile

In a one-ton pickup, with a cancer glow

When he looks at you Race Car Joe
