Lyrics:

Joey keys was from my neighborhoodbr /Some would say that he was bad and joe thought that was goodbr /Joey got the name 'keys' picking locksbr /He never really robbed no one; it sure amused the copsbr /Joey's parents owned a restaurantbr /After closing time they'd give us almost anything we'd wantbr /I never cared that joey keys was slowbr /br /Though he couldn't read or write too well but we'd talk all night long.br /br /Come on, come on, come onbr /What you gonna do with your life? br /Come on, come on, come onbr /Chasing sparks in the nightsbr /His old man said tomorrow is a ride that goes nowherebr /But I'll pull some strings, get blackbird wingsbr /And break us out of therebr /br /[chorus:]br /Hey joeybr /C'mon tell me 'bout your dreamsbr /Tell me all the sights you're gonna seebr /Tell me who you're gonna bebr /br /Hey joeybr /You're gonna kiss the girls goodnightbr /Sometimes you got to stand and fightbr /It'll be alrightbr /We're gonna find a better lifebr /br /See joe was 3 years younger to the daybr /Acting like a little brother but became my ball and chainbr /I met this girl named rhonda, she fell for mebr /She said, 'i might learn to like him but love ain't built for three.'br /br /[chorus:]br /Hey joeybr /C'mon tell me 'bout your dreamsbr /Tell me all the sights you're gonna seebr /Tell me who you're gonna bebr /br /Hey joeybr /You're gonna kiss the girls goodnightbr /Sometimes you got to stand and fightbr /It'll be alrightbr /br /Hey joeybr /News gets around in this fading neighborhoodbr /The old man lost the restaurantbr /He drinks more than he shouldbr /It's time for joey keys to do some goodbr /Pick the lock off our lives, let's get out of here like we always said we wouldbr /br /[chorus:]br /Hey joeybr /C'mon tell me 'bout your dreamsbr /Tell me all the sights you're gonna seebr /Tell me who you're gonna bebr /br /Hey joeybr /You're gonna kiss the girls goodnightbr /Sometimes you got to stand and fightbr /It'll be alrightbr /br /We're gonna find a better lifebr /Find a better lifebr /Find a better life
