“Lookout Joe” is the only studio recording on Tonight’s the Night that wasn’t laid down during the S.I.R. sessions in August-September 1973 and is the only one to feature the Stray Gators. It was recorded during sessions just prior to the 1973 tour that resulted in the live album Time Fades Away.
“...
[Verse 1]
A hip drag queen and a side-walking street wheeler
Comin' down the avenue
They're all your friends, you'll come to love 'em
There's a load of 'em waiting for you
[Chorus]
Lookout Joe, you're coming home
Old times were good times
Old times were good times
[Verse 2]
Remember Millie from down in Philly?
She took my brain and forgot my name
The woman you were with was about the same
She took your money and left town
[Chorus]
Lookout, Joe
You're comin' home
Old times were good times
Old times were good times
(Take it, Ben!)
[Slide Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Glory Hallelujah
Will I lay my burden down?
Singing on the streets around
Look at that crazy clown
(Look at)
[Guitar Solos]
[Verse 3]
Remember Bill from up on the hill?
A Cadillac put a hole in his arm
But old Bill, he's up there still
Havin' a ball rolling to the bottom
[Chorus]
Lookout, Joe
You're comin' home
Old times were good times
Old times were good times
Old times were good times
