Lyrics
Harry & Joe
Harry & Joe moved south with their wives
Enjoying the golden years of their lives
But life doesn't always pay back what it owes
And suddenly there was just Harry & Joe
Joe's been a teacher, gentle and calm
Harry a teamster, with a fuse like a bomb
Thrown in together by life's crazy whims
They're pepper and salt, like their unshaven chins
Harry & Joe lean to and fro
And they lean on each other
Wherever they go
Two lonely fighters doin' all that they know
To get through each day
Hatty & Joe
Harry & Joe cheatin' at cards
In a Florida apartment that smells of cigars
They brag about grandkids and the wives they loved so
In the late afternoons of Harry & Joe
(CHORUS)
An ambulence siren across the backyard
Joe looks at Harry, then shuffles the cards
Harry & Joe lean to and fro
Like they lean on each other
Wherever they go
What tomorrow may bring them
There's no way to know
So they get through each day
Harry & Joe
They get through each day
Harry & Joe
