Stabby Joe
Joseph McMichael was born in Idaho
Up on the panhandle Bonners Ferry Road
Spent his summers swimming in Lake Pend Oreille
Learned to play the fiddle on his own
His mom wasn't there much is dad he'd never known
On the first day of his life he was put on methadone
People said Joseph never had a chance
It was the only life he'd ever know
He was barely 13 when he got that fateful name
They sent him to reform school down in Coeur d'Alene
He'd always hated bullies then he saw his mom get beat
Joseph thought what he did was right
He never finished high school but got his GED
Headed to the oil fields two states to the east
Didn't mind the money but he never liked the Plains
He played that old-time fiddle every night
It was the northern Rockies he always loved the most
He went home for the funeral when his mom overdosed
Decided to stay with a girl he used to know
Their days on Upper Priest Lake he was home
In July they went to dinner to celebrate her first year clean
An ex of hers showed up high on methamphetamine
Joseph tried to save her but that coward pulled a knife
Joseph followed his mom into the night
Joseph McMichael was born in Idaho
Up on the Panhandle Bonners Ferry Road
Spent his summers swimming in Lake Pend Oreille
Learned to play the fiddle on his own
Up on the panhandle Bonners Ferry Road
Spent his summers swimming in Lake Pend Oreille
Learned to play the fiddle on his own
His mom wasn't there much is dad he'd never known
On the first day of his life he was put on methadone
People said Joseph never had a chance
It was the only life he'd ever know
He was barely 13 when he got that fateful name
They sent him to reform school down in Coeur d'Alene
He'd always hated bullies then he saw his mom get beat
Joseph thought what he did was right
He never finished high school but got his GED
Headed to the oil fields two states to the east
Didn't mind the money but he never liked the Plains
He played that old-time fiddle every night
It was the northern Rockies he always loved the most
He went home for the funeral when his mom overdosed
Decided to stay with a girl he used to know
Their days on Upper Priest Lake he was home
In July they went to dinner to celebrate her first year clean
An ex of hers showed up high on methamphetamine
Joseph tried to save her but that coward pulled a knife
Joseph followed his mom into the night
Joseph McMichael was born in Idaho
Up on the Panhandle Bonners Ferry Road
Spent his summers swimming in Lake Pend Oreille
Learned to play the fiddle on his own
