Joey Keys was from my neighborhood |
| [00:17.030] |
Some would say that he was bad |
| [00:20.000] |
And Joe thought that was good |
| [00:22.720] |
Joey got the name "Keys" picking locks |
| [00:28.100] |
He never really robbed no one |
| [00:30.840] |
It sure amused the cops |
| [00:33.730] |
Joey's parents owned a restaurant |
| [00:38.540] |
After closing time they'd give us |
| [00:40.940] |
Almost anything we'd want |
| [00:44.460] |
I never cared that Joey Keys was slow |
| [00:49.870] |
Though he couldn't read or write too well |
| [00:52.620] |
But we'd talk all night long. |
| [00:55.460] |
Come on, come on, come on |
| [00:57.640] |
What you gonna do with your life? |
| [01:00.660] |
Come on, come on, come on |
| [01:02.890] |
Chasing sparks in the nights |
| [01:05.960] |
His old man said tomorrow is a ride that goes nowhere |
| [01:11.320] |
But I'll pull some strings |
| [01:13.020] |
Get blackbird wings |
| [01:14.330] |
And break us out of there |
| [01:17.250] |
Hey Joey |
| [01:19.640] |
C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams |
| [01:21.890] |
Tell me all the sights you're gonna see |
| [01:24.630] |
Tell me who you're gonna be |
| [01:27.750] |
Hey Joey |
| [01:30.310] |
You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight |
| [01:32.730] |
Sometimes you got to stand and fight |
| [01:34.480] |
It'll be alright |
| [01:37.260] |
We're gonna find a better life |
| [01:44.000] |
See Joe was 3 years younger to the day |
| [01:49.250] |
Acting like a little brother |
| [01:51.980] |
But became my ball and chain |
| [01:55.050] |
I met this girl named Rhonda |
| [01:57.140] |
She fell for me |
| [01:59.870] |
She said, "I might learn to like him |
| [02:02.880] |
But love ain't built for three." |
| [02:06.220] |
Hey Joey |
| [02:08.490] |
C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams |

Tell me who you're gonna be |
| [02:16.830] |
Hey Joey |
| [02:19.140] |
You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight |
| [02:21.490] |
Sometimes you got to stand and fight |
| [02:23.410] |
It'll be alright |
| [02:27.090] |
Hey Joey |
| [02:49.570] |
News gets around in this fading neighborhood |
| [02:54.550] |
The old man lost the restaurant |
| [02:57.450] |
He drinks more than he should |
| [03:00.020] |
It's time for Joey keys to do some good |
| [03:05.430] |
Pick the lock off our lives |
| [03:06.860] |
Let's get out of here like we always said we would |
| [03:11.120] |
