[chorus]
woah, skyway joe
yeah, he’s takin’ his sweet time
better jump on the high line and come home to me

now, whoa, skyway joe
yeah, he only drinks sweet wine
and he drinks it on his own time
that’s why he’s never comin home to me

[verse 1]
now skyway joe grew up in a ghost town
yeah, the only thing around was them dirty coal trains
he’d come in at night with soot on his clothes and soot in his eyes
yeah, he’d promise his mama it wouldn’t happen again
[pre+chorus]
mama said, “joe, don’t go out on the road, out on the town”
joe said, “mama, didn’t you know i’m gonna make you proud
i’m gonna be the best hobo around”

[chorus]
now whoa, skyway joe
yeah, he’s takin’ his sweet time
better jump on the high line and come home to me

now, whoa, skyway joe
yeah, he only drinks sweet wine
and he drinks it on his own time
that’s why he’s never comin home to me

[verse 2]
skyway joe, he’s seen every city light
spent many lonely nights on them dirty coal trains
he’d sing a little song as he rode along
he said, “a little song
it helps to ease the pain”

[pre+chorus]
mama said, “joe, don’t go out on the road, out on the town”
joe said, “mama, didn’t you know i’m gonna make you proud
i’m gonna be the best hobo around”
[chorus]
now whoa, skyway joe
yeah, he’s takin’ his sweet time
better jump on a high line and come home to me

now, whoa, skyway joe
yeah, he only drinks sweet wine
and he drinks it on his own time
that’s why he’s never comin’ back to me

[verse 3]
skyway joe, he grew old out on the road
yeah, he didn’t miss a thing
on them dirty coal trains
said, “ive been lonely, i’ve been low
i’ve been fast and i’ve been slow
but i got myself to blame”

[pre+chorus]
mama said, “joe, don’t go out on the road, out on the town”
joe said, “mama, didn’t you know i’m gonna make you proud
i’m gonna be the best hobo around”

[chorus]
now whoa, skyway joe
yeah, he’s takin’ his sweet time
better jump on the high line and come home to me
now, whoa, skyway joe
yeah, he only drinks sweet wine
and he drinks it on his own time
that’s why he’s never comin home to me
