Joey Lyrics - Bon Jovi

1 Joey Keys was from my neighborhood

2 Some would say that he was bad and Joe thought that was good

3 Say he got the name "Keys" picking locks

4 He never really robbed no one; it sure amused the cops

5 Joey's parents owned a restaurant

6 After closing time they'd give us almost anything we'd want

7 I never cared that Joey Keys was slow

8 Though he couldn't read or write too well but we'd talk all night long.

9 Come on, come on, come on

10 What you gonna do with your life?

11 Come on, come on, come on

12 Chasing sparks in the nights

13 His old man said tomorrow is a ride that goes nowhere

14 But I'll pull some strings, get blackbird wings

15 And break us out of there

16 Hey Joey

17 C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams

18 Tell me all the sights you're gonna see

19 Tell me who you're gonna be

20 Hey Joey

21 You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight

22 Sometimes you got to stand and fight

23 It'll be alright

24 We're gonna find a better life

25 See Joe was 3 years younger to the day

26 Acting like a little brother but became my ball and chain

27 I met this girl named Rhonda, she fell for me

28 She said, "I might learn to like him but love ain't built for three."

29 Hey Joey

30 C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams

31 Tell me all the sights you're gonna see

32 Tell me who you're gonna be

33 Hey Joey

34 You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight

35 Sometimes you got to stand and fight

36 It'll be alright

37 Hey Joey

38 News gets around in this fading neighborhood

39 The old man lost the restaurant

40 He drinks more than he should

41 It's time for Joey keys to do some good

42 Pick the lock off our lives, let's get out of here like we always said we would

43 Hey Joey

44 C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams

45 Tell me all the sights you're gonna see

46 Tell me who you're gonna be

47 Hey Joey

48 You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight

49 Sometimes you got to stand and fight

50 It'll be alright

51 We're gonna find a better life

52 Find a better life

53 Find a better life

54 Come on, come on, come on

55 What you gonna do with your life?

56 Come on, come on, come on

57 Chasing sparks in the nights

58 His old man said tomorrow is a ride that goes nowhere

59 But I'll pull some strings, get blackbird wings

60 And break us out of there
