Keep Punching Joe - Daniel Johnston

Ladies and gentlemen

He headed out West looking for the best

And he’s here tonight because he’s got a lot to get off his chest

Here he is, ladies and gentlemen

None other than Daniel D Johnston

Thank you

Thank you very much for that lovely introduction

Thank you very much

A one, a two, a one, a two

Listen, folks, I gotta tell you now

I’ve been singing the blues and walking the cow

I tell you my soul’s like running water

Hot or cold now one or the other

I guess I lean toward the excessive

But that’s just the way it is

When you’re a manic depressive

An angel appeared to me and told me

If you want love you gotta give

Let me tell you now it’s been a long hard summer

And I feel every bit, every bit more dumber

Don’t know where it is I’m gonna go

Heard somebody say 'keep punching, Joe'

Keep punching, Joe

Keep punching, Joe

Keep punching

Dial 'P' for pest control

Ah, now let me tell you about my family

You know they’ve been right there beside me

Through all this time that I’ve been low

They’ve been punching Joe

Keep Punching Joe

Kick him right in the face

Keep Punching Joe

Kick him when he’s down

Keep Punching Joe

Kick him.

Kick him when he’s low

I’ve got something to get off my chest

Well, I’ve got something to get off my chest

Yes, I’ve got something to get off my chest

How am I supposed to give love

If I never got love?

And what the heck am I punching for?

And how am I to look God in the face?

When I feel so much disgrace?

Now, that’s better off my chest

Than out of my mind

Keep punching, Joe!

Woo
