Hey Joe, tell me why do you carry a gun around town? I said, hey Joe, why do you carry a blue steel 44? What are you up to? Well, I'm on my way home And home is not a safe place anymore It hasn't been for a long time The blows are coming hard and every day now I'm going down fast but I plan to last Hey Joe, I heard you shot your fella down Put him in the ground Hey Joe, I heard you really did shoot that man Straight through the heart, wow Yes I did, I shot him He's been taking it out on me long enough now I put a hole in his heart so I can breathe And live to see another day Hey Joe, where you gonna run to now? I said where you gonna go? Hey Joe, where can you possibly run to now? The law's bound to catch up Well, I'm not going anywhere, You know I'm free now, no matter what The law can't hurt me now Ain't no one gonna stop me from breathing, no sir Yes I did, I put a gun to the man's heart There was no other way Hey I'm okay 'Cause I'm free now, free Anyone can see, it was a simple case A simple case: him or me Can't you see, can't you see that's what it was Yes, I did, I shot him down to the ground And I'm free now, yeah, down to the ground Can't you see, I'm free now, free No one's gonna stop me from breathing I wanna live, I wanna breathe, I wanna see another day I'm okay
