Joe Cordell
My Uncle, the first boy I ever kissed,
The one who was patient enough
To teach me how to use a checkbook,
And who taught me the secret
That sour cream
Makes chocolate shakes taste better!

January 13th 1971 -
Disappeared in August...
Found in October... 1989

"Joey"
Joey, baby
Don't get crazy
Detours, fences
I get defensive
You know you've heard it all before
So I don't say it anymore
I just stand by
And let you fight your secret war
And though I used to wonder why
I used to cry til I was dry
Still sometimes
I get a strange pain inside
Oh Joey if you're hurting so am I
Oh Joey I'm not angry anymore.
Joey I'm not angry anymore,
Angry anymore,
Angry anymore.
Joey, honey,
All is forgiven. Listen, listen.
And if I seem to be confused,
I didn't mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you, well,
I guess you scared me too.
But we got lucky once before,
And I don't wanna close the door.
And if you're somewhere out there
Oh Joey,
I'm not angry any more
And if I seem to be confused,
I didn't mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you, well,
I guess you scared me too.
But if it's love you're looking for,
Then I can give a little more.
And if you're somewhere broken,
Oh Joey,
I'm not angry any more,
Angry any more,
Angry any more.

(This song always makes me think about Joe...)

"The angels have waited,
Now they have their way,
Take your place.."
