[Chorus] Woah, Skyway Joe Yeah, he's takin' his sweet time Better jump on the high line and come home to me
Now, whoa, Skyway Joe Yeah, he only drinks sweet wine And he drinks it on his own time That's why he's never comin home to me
[Verse 1] Now Skyway Joe grew up in a ghost town Yeah, the only thing around was them dirty coal trains He'd come in at night with soot on his clothes and soot in his eyes Yeah, he'd promise his mama it wouldn't happen again

Now, whoa, Skyway Joe Yeah, he only drinks sweet wine And he drinks it on his own time That's why he's never comin home to me
