Joey

Joey was a young boy he was only about sixteen 
He liked to party and do the do 
Joey was a young boy and Mamma 
He don't care about you 

It meant so much to meet by the trestle 
And duck behind the searchlights
It felt too good to end it quickly 
They drank up their youth that night 

He screwed up everything that he possibly could
So they put him away for a while 
Away from the corruptive lifestyle 
Up in some youth facility 
He just wanted to be free 

He tried to play the game 
He peed in jars and he nodded when they 
Called his name 

He got Mary Lou knocked up and 
Man he smiled though he was caught up 
And she smiled though she was caught up 
Penny-less maiden, caught up by love 
They can't afford the solution they were thinkin' of

Playin' grown-ups minus the hang-ups 
Playin' Russian Roulette without a weapon 
It was the ultimate deception 

He rides a skateboard - and -
She talks on the phone - and they -
Can't wait to be alone 
Can't wait just to get stoned

Joey was a young boy with no responsibility
He left school to go nowhere
How can this be ?

Handsome with his blue eyes 
And his surfer personality 
He's riskin' high stakes in a game called reality 

And the grown-ups acted childish 
They cried and beat the wall 
They acted like they had no responsibilities at all 
After the fall 
After they told it all

Joey could've been a smart one 
He had the qualities 
His head stayed in a daydream 
His mind blew like the breeze 
His head stayed in a daydream 
His mind blew like the breeze

Joey was a young boy 
He was only about sixteen.....
