Joey Lyrics - Bounce - Bon Jovi

Joey Keys was from my neighborhood 

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

Say he got the name "Keys" picking locks 

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

Joey's parents owned a restaurant 

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

I never cared that Joey Keys was slow 

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

Come on, come on, come on 

What you gonna do with your life? 

Come on, come on, come on 

Chasing sparks in the nights 

His old man said tomorrow is a ride that goes nowhere 

But I'll pull some strings, get blackbird wings 

And break us out of there

Chorus: 

Hey Joey 

C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams 

Tell me all the sights you're gonna see 

Tell me who you're gonna be 

Hey Joey 

You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight 

Sometimes you got to stand and fight 

It'll be alright 

We're gonna find a better life 

See Joe was 3 years younger to the day 

Acting like a little brother but became my ball and chain 

I met this girl named Rhonda, she fell for me 

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

Chorus: 

Hey Joey 

C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams 

Tell me all the sights you're gonna see 

Tell me who you're gonna be 

Hey Joey 

You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight 

Sometimes you got to stand and fight 

It'll be alright 

Hey Joey 

News gets around in this fading neighborhood 

The old man lost the restaurant 

He drinks more than he should 

It's time for Joey keys to do some good 

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

Chorus: 

Hey Joey 

C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams 

Tell me all the sights you're gonna see 

Tell me who you're gonna be 

Hey Joey 

You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight 

Sometimes you got to stand and fight 

It'll be alright 

We're gonna find a better life 

Find a better life 

Find a better life 

Come on, come on, come on 

What you gonna do with your life? 

Come on, come on, come on 

Chasing sparks in the nights 

His old man said tomorrow is a ride that goes nowhere 

But I'll pull some strings, get blackbird wings 

And break us out of there
