2 O'Clock Joe

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Joe Muller, that’s the man They call him 2 o’clock Joe Hot as a match in July Most days he lets it show He slams that screen door hard Makes the whole porch shake Then he calms right down With a cold one he can take [Pre-Chorus] He’s pacing by the fence line Talking big again Saying one day soon, boys He’ll be out on the bend [Chorus] 2 o’clock Joe Beer in his hand 2 o’clock Joe Calms right down 2 o’clock Joe Talks about a boat Every single day Still ain’t bought one yet [Verse 2] He hides them cans in the bushes By the side of the house Like a secret from the neighbors He don’t need called out When the sun drops low He’s mean as a thorn But once that bottle pops He turns softer than corn [Pre-Chorus] He points at the horizon Says, “Next payday, you’ll see” Then he takes one more sip And nods to the trees [Chorus] 2 o’clock Joe Beer in his hand 2 o’clock Joe Calms right down 2 o’clock Joe Talks about a boat Every single day Still ain’t bought one yet [Bridge] He’s got a dream in the driveway Rust and prayer and pride A little lake house freedom Just waiting inside But till that bow rises And he cuts through the foam He’ll keep one eye on trouble And one on going home [Chorus] 2 o’clock Joe Beer in his hand 2 o’clock Joe Calms right down 2 o’clock Joe Talks about a boat Every single day Still ain’t bought one yet
