[00:11.72]Joey Keys was from my neighborhood
[00:17.03]Some would say that he was bad
[00:20.00]And Joe thought that was good
[00:22.72]Joey got the name "Keys" picking locks
[00:28.10]He never really robbed no one
[00:30.84]It sure amused the cops
[00:33.73]Joey's parents owned a restaurant
[00:38.54]After closing time they'd give us
[00:40.94]Almost anything we'd want
[00:44.46]I never cared that Joey Keys was slow
[00:48.45]
[00:49.87]Though he couldn't read or write too well
[00:52.62]But we'd talk all night long.
[03:54.75][00:55.46]Come on, come on, come on
[03:56.93][00:57.64]What you gonna do with your life?
[03:59.95][01:00.66]Come on, come on, come on
[04:02.18][01:02.89]Chasing sparks in the nights
[04:05.25][01:05.96]His old man said tomorrow is a ride that goes nowhere
[04:10.61][01:11.32]But I'll pull some strings
[04:12.31][01:13.02]Get blackbird wings
[04:13.60][01:14.33]And break us out of there
[02:06.22][01:17.25]Hey Joey
[02:08.49][01:19.64]C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams
[02:10.76][01:21.89]Tell me all the sights you're gonna see
[02:13.45][01:24.63]Tell me who you're gonna be
[03:22.19][02:16.83][01:27.75]Hey Joey
[03:24.43][02:19.14][01:30.31]You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight
[03:27.08][02:21.49][01:32.73]Sometimes you got to stand and fight
[03:28.75][02:23.41][01:34.48]It'll be alright
[01:37.26]We're gonna find a better life
[01:41.04]
[01:44.00]See Joe was 3 years younger to the day
[01:49.25]Acting like a little brother
[01:51.98]But became my ball and chain
[01:55.05]I met this girl named Rhonda
[01:57.14]She fell for me
[01:59.87]She said, "I might learn to like him
[02:02.88]But love ain't built for three."
[02:27.09]Hey Joey
[02:30.80]
[02:49.57]News gets around in this fading neighborhood
[02:54.55]The old man lost the restaurant
[02:57.45]He drinks more than he should
[03:00.02]It's time for Joey keys to do some good
[03:05.43]Pick the lock off our lives
[03:06.86]Let's get out of here like we always said we would
[03:11.12]Hey Joey
[03:13.92]Tell me 'bout your dreams
[03:15.94]Tell me all the sights you're gonna see
[03:18.58]Tell me who you're gonna be
[03:31.05]We're gonna find a better life
[03:36.91]Find a better life
[03:42.44]Find a better life
[03:48.36][04:18.39]
