Joe don't let your music kill ya it's a thing that supposed to fill ya It's a thing that supposed to make you happy Taking pills and drinking whiskey picking can be mighty risky Joe don't let your music kill ya nobody cares
That song that you've been singing it's not what you think I know you've seen some sunny days You love your music but you love your life and there's nothing silent like a grave Joe don't let your music kill ya...
Hunger can be killed with a can of beans don't let 'em tell you that I'm wrong You got a good woman and she's got her dreams don't hang your life up for a song Joe don't let your music kill ya... Joe don't let your music kill ya...
