Ol' Joe - Acoustic

Ol' Joe - Acoustic Version [VERSE 1] Three days hitchin’, boots full of road, Eatin’ bar scraps to carry the load. Found that old farm, folks said I’d find, But it looked closed, like it’d been left behind. Stood there thinkin’, “Well, I chased a ghost,” Turned back down that dirt road, mad at it most. [PRE‑CHORUS] Then I heard a diesel crankin' through the pines, Sounded like trouble in need of a pair of hands like mine. [VERSE 2] Walked up slow, said, “Mornin’, you need a hand?” He said, “Been fightin’ this tractor since 'bout six a.m.” Blood on his knuckles, cap pulled down low, His eyes said “I’ve seen worse” — that was Ol’ Joe. He slid a rusty toolbox down by my boots, Said, “If you know how to use ’em, put ’em to use.” [CHORUS] That’s how I met ol’ Joe, sweatin’ under that sun, Said, “If you know your wrenches, boy, grab you one.” Didn’t ask my business, didn’t stare too long — Just nodded like he knew I’d been runnin’ on wrong — Felt like I’d found a friend when I’d been on my own… That’s the day I met Ol’ Joe. [INTERLUDE] [VERSE 3] We talked while we worked, bolts and busted lines, He said he’d served in ‘Nam, lost his wife last springtime. Didn’t pry on me, just kept turnin’ steel, But somethin’ in that quiet felt all too real. By the time that tractor finally shook to life, Felt like I’d known that old man half my life. [PRE‑CHORUS] Black smoke driftin' upward, sun burnin’ low, Joe wiped his hands and said, “Boy, you ain’t got to go.” [BRIDGE] He said, “Got a room in the barn if you need to stay, And an old motorcycle if you fix it your way. Ain’t much here, but it’s honest, and the work is real.” And for the first long time, I remembered how hope feels. [FINAL CHORUS] That’s how I met ol’ Joe, sweatin’ under that sun, Said, “If you know your wrenches, boy, grab you one.” Didn’t ask my business, didn’t stare too long — Just nodded like he knew I’d been runnin’ on wrong — Found a place to land when I had nowhere to go… Yeah, that’s the day I met ol’ Joe. [OUTRO] Yeah… that’s the day I met ol’ Joe.
