Big Story Bout Lil Joe
Got a big story bout
a little guy I know
He stood four foot six,
and he said I gotta go
I gotta go
He was a little short
but he didn't give a ****
he had a cute girlfriend
and a pretty nice pickup truck
It was a '98
I don't know what the reason was
Coulda been the blues
or just a bad buzz
But he had to go.
He drove that 98 down 66,
I think it was,
hit the desert, went off the
road, and he drove
For quite some time.
Pulled up next to
a friendly cactus.
Gave it a hug, and, just like
everyone else,
it strung him through.
He said I gotta go, gotta go
So he walked and walked,
and talked and talked
to whatever might be
listenin'.
Wasn't nobody there.
Couldn't find the key,
didn't see the door,
wasn't sure if he could take
much more.
Oh, oh, oh he had to go.
Why he did what he did
is no mystery
If you look right through
yourself
and me
You will know
Why he had to go
