Life's to short, ain't looking back no more
Been there, done it seen it all before
Looking up, straight ahead
Get up and go , Good-bye lil't Joe!

Had a fight Lil't, Joe got mad
Say's I took the only thing he had
Looking up, straight ahead....Get up and go
Good-bye lil't Joe!

Said good-bye, ain't coming back no more
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
crying at my door
I'm Looking up, straight ahead
Get up and go , Good-bye lil't Joe!

Looking up, straight ahead
Get up and go , Good-bye Tupelo!
Get up and go , Good-bye lil't Joe!
