John Pippus - Shopping Cart Joe lyrics

Leaning in to an April wind Sifting through my past Funny how the time takes things away One wrong turn too many And I guess I lost the thread I didn't plan to end up this way Shopping Cart Joe That's what they call me That's all they know Slamming doors and social workers The neighborhood disgrace I wish I never took it out on her Beer on tap and small cigars Are my only friends I got swallowed by my pride Shopping Cart Joe That's what they call me That's all they know If you only knew what I could do When I was on my game I bet you'd want to be my friend If you only knew what I was like When I was seventeen I bet you'd want to be my friend Counting off the city blocks Adding up the dimes Trying to keep the angry voices low Pissing on a miracle But hoping for a change I'd just settle for piece of mind Shopping Cart Joe...
