Bruce Donnola: Music
Joe Sawyer
The name's Joe Sawyer and there's not much to tell you
I got a job and a place with my wife Hallie
I had some big plans once but now that's all over
Suffice to say this guitar ain't getting younger.CHORUS
Not a great man
Not a bad man
Not a kingmaker
Not a heartbreaker
Ooh, just Joe SawyerWHen I was 22 I hit the highway
I headed westward to make my name someway
West where they make wine out of water
West where they say that time don't matterCHORUS
Never you mind
I'm better off than others
One day you find
Success was not some name you made
It was just a song you sang and playedAnd late at night on the porch
When summer's almost over
I sit and play my guitar
All night foever
And Hallie sings with me so sweet and plaintive.
And you know those harmonies, well, they were all I ever wantedCHORUS
