Jo ey Keys was from my neighborhood
So me would say that he was bad and
Jo e thought that was good
Joey got the name "Keys" picking locks
He never really ro bbed no one
it sure amused the cops
Jo ey's parents owned a restaurant
After closing time they'd give us almos t anything we'd want
I never cared that Joey Keys was slow
Though he couldn't re ad or write too well
bu t we'd talk all night long
Com e on, come on, come on
Wha t you gonna do with your life?
Oh, Come on, come on, come on
Cha sing sparks in the nights
His old man said tomorrow
is a ride that goes nowhere
But I'll pull some strings, g et blackbird wings
And break us out of there
Hey Joey
C'mo n tell me 'bout your dreams
Tell me all the sights you're gonna see
Tell me who you're gonna be
Hey Joey
You' re gonna kiss the girls goodnight
Some times you got to stand and fight
It'll be alright
We're gonna find
(

a better life
See J oe was 3 years younger to the day
Actin g like a little brother
but b ecame my ball and chain
I met this girl named Rhonda
she fell for me
She said, "I might learn to like him
but l ove ain't built for three"
Hey Jo ey
C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams
Tell m e all the sights you're gonna see
Tell m e who you're gonna be
Hey Jo ey
You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight
Someti mes you got to stand and fight
It'll be alright
Hey Joe
