"THE JOKE’S ON ME" I was looking through the attic, for a fishin’ pole When I reached to move a box, and the bottom broke And ever’y photograph of you, I ever owned Was starrin’ straight up at me from the floor Well I tried not to look down, as I knelt to pick them up But my fav’rite one was burning holes in me And it led me to the reason’s why, I had to pack them up And no, I didn’t get much fishin’ done that day CHORUS: And just about the time I think it’s over Oh just when love, is dead and gone… There you’ll be, Standin’ in my memories ‘N’ there I’ll go, Feelin’ like it use to be Just about the time, I think it’s safe to laugh at love The joke’s on me I’d loaded up thee ice chest, for a weekend at the coast I was gonna drink some beer, and soak some sun When just outside the driveway, A DJ raised your ghost And played a tune that hurt to sing along Well I should’ve turn it down, Hell, I should’ve turned it off But it sounded just to much like you and me By the time I’d learned the words and chords, All the beer was gone And no, I didn’t spend the weekend at the sea (REPEAT CHORUS) BRIDGE: I almost made it out to Vegas But I found your Negligee, In our honeymoon suitcase (REPEAT CHORUS) Just about the time, I think it’s safe to laugh at love The joke’s on me I was lookin’ through the attic, for a fishin’ pool
