Joey

Joey keys was from my neighbourhood
some would say he was bad and Joey thought
that was good
They he got the name "keys" picking locks
He never really robbed no one; It sure amused the cops

Joey's parents owed a restaurant
after closing time they'd give us almost anything we'd want
I never cared that Joey Keys was slow
Thought he couldn't read or write too well we'd
talk all night long. Come on, come on, come on
What you gonna do with your life? Come on, Come on, Come on, chasing sparks in the night
His old man said tomorrow is a ride that goes nowhere
But I'll pull some strings, Get blackbird wings
And break out of here he Joey come on

Tell me 'bout your dreams tell me all the sights you're gonna see Tell me who you gonna be
Hey Joey you're gonna kiss the girls goodnight
Sometimes you got to stand and fight
It'll be allright we're gonna find a better life
See Joey was 3 years younger to the day
Acting like a little brother but became my ball and chain
I met this girl named Rhonda, she fell for me
She said, "I might learn to like him but love ain't built for three."
He Joey come on tell me 'bout your dreams tell me all
The sights you're gonna see tell me who you're gonna be
He Joey
You gonna kiss the girls
goodnight somtimes you got to stand and fight
It'll be alright he Joey
News gets around in this fading neighborhood
the old man lost the restaurant
He drinks more than he should
It's time for Joey Keys to do some good
Pick the lock of our lives, let's get out of here like we always sayd we would
He Joey tell me 'bout your dreams tell me all the sights you're gonna see tell me who you gonna be hey Joey we're gonna kiss the girls goodnight.

You got to stand
And fight It'll be alright we're gonna find a better life Find a better life find a better life
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
What you gonna do with your life?
Come on, come on, come on,
Chasing sparks in the night
Tell the old man it's tomorrow; we're off to find
somewhere
I pulled those strings, got blackbird wings
That got out of here...
