Lights on the motor bike shine through the bars on my face
As I walk through the alley with a smile and a guitar case
I climb on the stairs and reflect on the night we spent
And I'm thinking about what you said and what it meant
You said, "Come back down, come back down, Joe"
I go down to see her in the late afternoon
She ain't easy to find she's always moving,
She's kicking back coffee with Anthony telling jokes
Say, "Girl if we don't go soon we're gonna miss the show"
She says, "Come back down, come back down, Joe"
Drive down to see if we can get on a list to play
So I go and walk in like I own the place
We wait our turn, yeah but we don't wait long
Me and Jenny we sing our songs in a row, we're on a roll
She says, "Come back down, come back down, Joe
Come back down, come back down"
Scarecrow's in full bloom tonight as they take the stage
So we say goodbye to Zachariah and we get on our way
And on the way home I say, "Tell me a story please"
She says, "Did you ever hear the one about the duck that was lost in the street?
Says I huffed and I puffed and I shooed him away
How do I stop the sunset in the middle of the day?
I watched him grow wings and fly away"
It was come back down, come back down Joe
Night's almost through but she wants to sing me a song
I love how you sing, girl, but it's just a little too long
'Cause there's only four seasons and this one's almost gone
These nights feel so good and this one's almost gone
She says, "Come back down, come back down, Joe
Come back down, come back down
Come back down, come back down, Joe, tomorrow"
