injun joe came by

last night

sat and talked

until first light

 

never knew a man

could think so right

his spirit soars high

high like a kite

 

out in the driveway

with a few beer

talked about life

talked about fear

 

suddenly the dawn was near

it dawned on me to hold

his memory dear

 

injun joe came by

last night

sat and talked

until first light

 

never knew a man

could think so right

his spirit soars high

high like a kite

 

saw injun joe

later on that day

never looked at him

the same way

 

knew he had

something to say

lots of songs

for him to play

 

out in the driveway

with a few beer

talked about life

talked about fear

 

suddenly the dawn was near

it dawned on me to hold

his memory dear
