[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
Come on, come on, come on
What you gonna do with your life?
Come on, come on, come on
Chasing sparks in the nights
His old man said tomorrow is a ride that goes nowhere
But I'll pull some strings, get blackbird wings
And break us out of here
[Chorus]
Hey Joey
Come on tell me about your dreams
Tell me all the sights you're going to see
Tell me who you're going to be
Hey Joey
You're going to kiss the girls goodnight
Sometimes you got to stand and fight
It'll be alright
