Joey Keys was from my neighborhood
Some would say that he was bad
And Joe thought that was good
Joey got the name "Keys" picking locks
He never really robbed no one
It sure amused the cops
Joey's parents owned a restaurant
After closing time they'd give us
Almost anything we'd want
I never cared that Joey Keys was slow

Though he couldn't read or write too well
But we'd talk all night long.

We're gonna find a better life

See Joe 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."
Hey 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 off our lives
Let's get out of here like we always said we would
Hey Joey
Tell me 'bout your dreams
Tell me all the sights you're gonna see
Tell me who you're gonna be
We're gonna find a better life
Find a better life
Find a better life
