Joan - Butch Walker

Joan moved away to Colorado

Said she found God and a boyfriend as well

One that won’t hit her or make her feel shallow

There’s a lot to learn about Joan

Before I moved in Joan had a fling with the landlord

So she got to stay here for free

And I’m not a genius but I figured out

There’s a lot to learn from Joan

And after all this time, you were waiting on the ride

To stop at the place where they slowly misplaced your life…

Go get it right

I went to the closet to get dressed for work

When I spotted a box I had not seen before

With all kinds of letters that never got sent to a guy in Colorado since 1994

And I know it’s wrong

But I sat and opened in no certain order

A letter or two she talked about blisters and bruises of anger

And she bought a handgun to learn how to shoot

And the last letter said that she had to get out

But I couldn’t make out the rest of the note

From the blood stains all over the page of the letters

There’s a lot to learn

And there’s a lot I learned about Joan

And after all this time, you were waiting on the ride

To stop at the place where you slowly misplaced your life

Oh and after all this time, you were waiting on the ride

To stop at the place where they slowly misplaced your life…

Go get it right

Go get it right

Go get it right

Go get it right
