Safety Joe Lyrics – John Prine
Singer: John Prine
Title: Safety Joe
Well, he never got too lonely
And he never got too sad
But he never got too happy
And that’s what’s just too bad
He never reached much further
Than his lonely arms would go
He wore a seatbelt around his heart
And they called him Safety Joe
Safety Joe, Safety Joe
Safety Joe, Safety Joe
What do you say? What do you know?
If you don’t loosen up the buckle
On your heart and start to chuckle
You’re gonna die of borеdom, Safety Joe
Now, Joe hе lived in Baltimore
Cause New York was too darn fast
He sometimes went down to Washington
Just to view our nation’s past
He never ate his vegetables
Cause they were just too darn chewy
And he never climbed much higher
Than the arch in old St. Louis
Safety Joe, Safety Joe
Safety Joe, Safety Joe
What do you say? What do you know?
If you don’t loosen up the buckle
On your heart and start to chuckle
Well, you’re gonna die of boredom, Safety Joe
Where’s that mandolin?
It’s the chorus
Joe gradually grew meaner
By not changin his demeanor
But he never did nothin
Too much for too long
Therefore his life never got much richer
Than the day they took that picture
In his birthday suit
On the day that he was born
Safety Joe, Safety Joe
What do you say? What do you know?
If you don’t loosen up the buckle
On your heart and start to chuckle
Well, you’re gonna die of boredom, Safety Joe
Well, you’re gonna die of boredom, Safety Joe
That’s golden
