Nick Corney - Smoky Joe Lyrics

Smoky Joe was a good friend of mine
He said keep your chin up boy and don't waste your time
As lost the prophet but finding clarity
He cleared his throat to cast the vote on man's stupidity
But lighting up was the only way to clear his head
Laughing at the world trying to figure out
What the hell we're here for he said
Don't be afraid to look at the sky
And tell yourself you're gonna die
Heaven is at home and not in the clouds
But that's where the smoke goes when it leaves you feeling high
And I'm all choked up about saying goodbye
Now Joe had his way of pulling you in
But I never seemed to notice the pallor of his yellowing skin
Sometimes the bottle hit so hard he fought with the law
Stealing time for petty crimes he said that he would die for
And you know it could have been me yeah
It could have been me yeah yeah
And so don't be afraid to look at the sky
And tell yourself you're gonna die
Heaven is at home and not in the clouds
But that's where the truth goes when he can't look you in the eye
And I'm all choked up about saying goodbye
Smoky Joe was a good friend of mine
He said keep your chin up boy I'm gonna be fine
He said keep your chin up boy
And don't be afraid to look at the sky
And tell yourself you're gonna die
Heaven is at home and not in the clouds
But that's where your hope goes when it leaves you to die
And I'm all choked up
And I'm all choked up
About saying goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye
Goodbye
