| Girard, Chuck - Plain Ol' Joe
Thank you for visiting allgospellyrics.com
(Chuck Girard)
He lived in Cincinnati, was born in '29
His life was uneventful, not a bit like yours or mine
His mother raised him proper and his dad kept him in line
He lived in Cincinnati, he was born in '29
He went upstate to college, he got no honors there
He had a lot to offer but no one seemed to care
He'd visit home on weekends and his folks would see him then
They never asked him what he'd done or where he might have been
He met a girl along the way, he thought it was romance
He started to come out a bit, she'd given him a chance
For a week he couldn't find her then he finally got the news
She'd married an old boyfriend and she'd moved to Syracuse
He holds the hurt in nicely so you'd never ever tell
Outside he looks like heaven but inside he feels like hell
He's cryin' out for something that he'll never ever know
And everyone ignores him 'cause he's just a plain ol' Joe
Ohhhhhhhoooh-oooh
And ooh, plain ol' Joe, and oo oh, plain ol' Joe
And ooh, plain ol' Joe, and oo oh, plain ol' Joe
Everyone around him seemed so self-assured
Everybody seemed to have it made
Everybody acted like you never lived
You're just a guy who never made the grade
You're just a guy who never had a real friend
You never seemed to ever really bloom
But you finally made the papers just the other day
When they found your body in your lonely little room
He lived in Cincinnati, was born in '29
His life was uneventful, not a bit like yours or mine
His mother raised him proper and his dad kept him in line
He lived in Cincinnati and he died in '69
