Shopping Cart Joe Lyrics - Singles - John Pippus

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...
