Dear Joe

Oh dear landlord

Please hear these words that I speak

Oh, I know that you have suffered

But you are not so unique

When that old steamboat whistle blows

I'll give you all I got to give

And I hope you receive it well

Depending on the way you feel that you live, my brother

Hey, dear landlord

Please don't put a price on my soul

Oh and if I do, I do

Is about to lose my control

All of us at times we might work too hard

To have it too fast and too much

But anyone can understand things

He can feel but he just can't touch

I'll be here

Oh you'd better get out here

Yeah, dear landlord

Please don't dismiss my case

Don't you know I'm not about to argue

Or move to no other place

Each of us has his own special gift

And you know help was meant to be

So if you don't underestimate me

I swear you won't underestimate me

Get 'em on guitar, baby

Oh won't leave my head

Oh, my landlord

Dear landlord, oh no
