Joey - Bon Jovi

Joey Keys was from my neighborhoodSome would say that he was bad and Joe thought that was goodJoey got the name "Keys" picking locksHe never really robbed no one; it sure amused the copsJoeys parents owned a restaurantAfter closing time theyd give us almost anything wed wantI never cared that Joey Keys was slowThough he couldnt read or write too well but wed talk all night long.Come on, come on, come onWhat you gonna do with your life?Come on, come on, come onChasing sparks in the nightsHis old man said tomorrow is a ride that goes nowhereBut Ill pull some strings, get blackbird wingsAnd break us out of there[Chorus:]Hey JoeyCmon tell me bout your dreamsTell me all the sights youre gonna seeTell me who youre gonna beHey JoeyYoure gonna kiss the girls goodnightSometimes you got to stand and fightItll be alrightWere gonna find a better lifeSee Joe was 3 years younger to the dayActing like a little brother but became my ball and chainI met this girl named Rhonda, she fell for meShe said, "I might learn to like him but love aint built for three."[Chorus:]Hey JoeyCmon tell me bout your dreamsTell me all the sights youre gonna seeTell me who youre gonna beHey JoeyYoure gonna kiss the girls goodnightSometimes you got to stand and fightItll be alrightHey JoeyNews gets around in this fading neighborhoodThe old man lost the restaurantHe drinks more than he shouldIts time for Joey keys to do some goodPick the lock off our lives, lets get out of here like we always said we would[Chorus:]Hey JoeyCmon tell me bout your dreamsTell me all the sights youre gonna seeTell me who youre gonna beHey JoeyYoure gonna kiss the girls goodnightSometimes you got to stand and fightItll be alrightWere gonna find a better lifeFind a better lifeFind a better life
