Joe's Gone Ridin' - Patricia Vonne

Joe’s gone ridin, ridin on the rail

Joe’s gone ridin, he’ll be on your trail

Don’t try to fight him, you’re only gonna fail

Joe’s gone ridin, ridin' on the rail

From the cotton fields of Tx, down to the Rio Grande

He’s a gypsy cowboy who always takes a stand

he hustled pool, hopped the train, headed down to San Antone

a restless heart, he lives life down to the bone

5 card gamble at the Boomtown saloon

he always plays to win while howling at the moon

tequila, wine, fists are flyin' and I’m caught in a mess

but I love to play the part of the damsel in distress

When you plead and you cry and they just won’t let you by

But if Joe says then Joe says

Tumbleweed, devil dye & they spit between your eyes

But if Joe says then Joe says

There ain’t no openin' band for no wine festival

but if Joe says, Joe says

Don’t mess with Texas or a green eyed girl.

Don’t penalize my case just cuz I defend my world

gotta speak your mind with every breath, fight for what you believe

I just wanna live a life without that human greed
