San Jose - Joe Purdy

Mona, you know you wander

On the street corner

I should have warned you

All of the boys

With all of their poison

They’ll rob you blind

And i knew your mother

God rest her soul

Where was your father?

Yeah well nobody knows

I wish things were different

The hand you were given

It just don’t seem fair

And you play with what you’re given

You’re doing fine

You try not to think about it

Well most of the time

You just do what you have to

To make sure you get through

Yeah but sometimes it hurts

Singing Mona, you know you wander

On the street corner

I should have warned you

All of the boys

With all of their poison

As they make their way

Yeah to San Jose

Yeah well you’re still so young

Yeah but you feel so old

It’s just that the things you’ve been through

That are making you cold

Well I think you’re gonna turn soon

Gotta careful with my moves

Just might lose you for good

Yeah and I can’t fight your demons

Yeah cuz i’d have to fight you

They’re so far inside you

And I just can’t seem to get through

And it ain’t none of my business

Ain’t none of my place

Yeah but i still had to try

Singing Mona, you know you gonna

On the street corner

I should have warned you

All of the boys

With all of their poison

As they make they’re way

Yeah to San Jose

Oh now and i think i’ve lost you

Can’t reach you no more

Cause you’re high as a kite

And i’m down here on the floor

Yah i’m begging you to come back down

But you can’t even hear that

It’s floated away

Oh yeah it’s such a shame

Cause i remember the days

Of the sunshine and rain

Yeah when we used to play

On your mother’s front lawn

Singing those old songs

Without a care in the world

Oh i’m just singing

Mona

You know you wander

On the street corner

I know you’re gonna offer

All of the boys and

All of their poison

They make their way

Yeah to San Jose darling

Yeah to San Jose now

Yeah Mona

You know you’re gonna

On the street corner…
