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"
