Joey
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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's like to cause a scene
So just hit reverse and pull out slow
And don't pay no mind to Joe
'Cause joey don't treat me good no more
No, don't pay no mind to Joe
'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 Joe, 'cause Joe don't treat me good no more
No, don't pay no mind to Joe, 'cause Joe 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 joe, 'cause Joe don't treat me good no more
No, don't pay no mind to Joe, 'cause Joe 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 years is what order said
But don't pay no mind to Joe, 'cause Joe
Don't treat me good no more
No, don't pay no mind to Joe, 'cause Joe
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 joe, 'cause Joe don't treat me good no more
No, don't pay no mind to joe, 'cause Joe don't treat me good no more
He's a bad man, pay no mind, pay no mind
