Joanna

The sun set over Medford

Tall Oregon pine

On my way to the next engagement

With Joanna on my mind

Minding my own business

Too much for some

I fight with the wrong guy

In the wrong bar

Maybe oughta get her

In the wrong lifetime

Joanna doesn't worry

Though she's half the world away

She's alright

Long as I ring home every six or seven days

'Cause I know her

And she knows me too

And she told me, said

If there's anything she can do

I must call her

And the earth will move

She'll come running

And I will make it through

There's trouble at the border

The man won't let me in

Something about my face

Must be worrying him

There's this funny kind of sadness

Pushes and pulls you around

All at the same time

Between this old road

And that new country

I'll be satisfied

Joanna doesn't worry

Though she's half the world away

She's alright

I promise to abandon my search for an early grave

'Cause I know her

And she knows me too

And she told me, said

If there's anything she can do

I must call her

And the earth will move

She'll come running

And I will make it through

And I will raise my hand up to the sky

History return in inches

Just a billion years behind

I will hold those lightyears in my fist

And I will fix Joanna in my mind

She's alright

She's alright

She's alright

Yeah, yeah, she's alright

Oh, my darling, she's alright

Oh, my baby, she's alright

She's alright
