We met on the job, just putting in time
You always had a joke to help us walk the line
A solid friend right from the very start
A working man with a light inside his heart
ChorusSo keep that good spirit of heart, my friend
Keep holding out a hand until the very end
With your belief in God and a smile so wide
You're an all-around good guy to have by my side
This world needs a light in the dark
So keep that good spirit of heart
Verse 2You’ve got a well of wisdom that runs deep and true
If someone needs a lift, they can count on you
You never turn away from a fellow man in need
You're always stepping up with a selfless deed
ChorusSo keep that good spirit of heart, my friend
Keep holding out a hand until the very end
With your belief in God and a smile so wide
You're an all-around good guy to have by my side
This world needs a light in the dark
So keep that good spirit of heart
BridgeIt’s a heavy old world, but you make it feel light
You keep aiming high and doing what’s right
Don't ever let the hard days change who you are
Just keep on shining like a steady star
Final ChorusAnd keep that good spirit of heart, my friend
Keep holding out a hand until the very end
With your belief in God and a smile so wide
You're an all-around good guy to have by my side
Yeah, this world needs a light in the dark
So keep that good spirit of heart, Joe
Keep that good spirit of heart
