A Guy Named Joe Page #13

Behind you, Dorinda.

Open up that hot lead!

Now, Dorinda!

Come on, twist her out,

Dorinda, twist her out!

Put her nose up

Into the moon!

Now just settle back

And let this little

Sweetheart take you home.

Got some dirt on your face

Again, didn't you?

That's better.

Now just point

Her nose in the air

And climb straight

For heaven.

Higher, Dorinda,

Higher.

Listen, Dorinda.

There it is.

You hear it?

I can tell you now,

Dorinda.

I can tell you everything

I've ever wanted to tell you.

You're going back and you're gonna have

A swell life,

Dorinda.

You're gonna have

A wonderful life.

Everything's gonna seem

Prettier than it was before.

The rain's gonna have a

Little more smell to it.

The trees are gonna

Seem a little greener.

And the nights are gonna

Be all chock full of stars.

And when you go

To sleep, Dorinda,

You're not gonna

Have any bad dreams.

And when that morning

Sunlight hits you in the face,

You're gonna

Wake up laughing.

And what's more, you're

Going out with people,

And you're gonna have all

The things that they have,

Including love.

You know, the only decent

Thing I ever did in my life

Was love you, Dorinda.

But if the memory

Of that love

Is gonna make you unhappy

All the rest of your life,

There must have been

Something wrong with it.

It should've been

The kind that filled

Your heart

So full of love

That you just

Had to go out and find

Someone to give it to.

That's the only real

Kind, isn't it, Dorinda?

That's the only kind

That ever lives.

You know, I find

Myself wondering

What kind of kids

You two will have.

I'd like to talk

To those kids sometime.

I think I could

Tell 'em something.

I think I could tell them about life,

How good it is,

How good

It can be.

And how the decent

Things in life never die.

And how the only kind

Of love worth having

Is the kind that

Goes on living

And laughing

And fighting...

And loving.

There he is,

Dorinda.

Go on.

I'm setting you free,

Dorinda.

I'm moving

Out of your heart.

Good-bye.

Good-bye,

Darling.

That's my girl.

And that's my boy.
