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.....All material is ©
