When I woke up this morning everything seemed wrong
I'd realized my greatest fear the one I loved was gone
She left in a world of emptiness
A wondering what happened to my happiness
The reason for it all was in a letter that I found
All she said and all I read was Joe's back in town
Joe's back in town that's what she said
Today she let me down wish I was dead
I was standing in for him I know but still I hang around
A hoping she might love me knowing she would leave me
Anytime that Joe's back in town
(Anytime that Joe's back in town)
Joe's back in town that's what she said...
