Joey

I come home from working hard
I pull up to my yard and there’s a man I used to know
He used to love me right
But then we had a little fight and now he’s on parole
Well he’s lookin' mighty mean
He likes to cause a scene
So just hit reverse and pull out slow
And don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
He wears his shirt untucked
He’s got one eye covered up and he’s got a big 'ol 44
He likes to drink 'til late, then he’ll break down your gate and he’ll throw
you to the floor
When he looks me in the eye, he’ll hit me 'till I cry, he’s trying to get
inside my door
But don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
You can’t even stomp and shout 'cause it’s all over now and there ain’t nothing
left to say
But don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
He saw me with another man, but he did not understand that I grew up with him
in the same crib
Joey started flaming red, he didn’t hear a word I said and now my brother’s got
a broken rib
Well, the judge and jury all agreed
That Joey did a dirty deed
And 50 yards is what the order said
But don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
He didn’t understand, the judge raised up his hand and said «You'd better leave
that girl alone»
But don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
He’s a bad man, pay no mind, pay no mind
