1. Joey keys was from my neighbourhood
some would say he was bad
joe thought he was good
they said he got the name keys from picking locks
he never really robbed no one it sure amused the cops
2. Joeys parents owned the restaurant
after closing time theyd give us
almost anything we would want
i never cared that joey keys was slow
though he couldnt read or write well
weed talk all night long
X: Come on come on come on
what you gonna do with your life
oh come on come on come on
chasing sparks in the nights
his old man said tomorrow
is a ride that goes no where
but ill pull some strings get blackbird wings
and break us out of here
R: Hey joey come on tell me about your dreams
tell me all the sights youre gonna see
tell me who youre gonna be
hey joey gonna kiss the girls tonight
sometimes you got to stand and fight
it will be alright gonna find a better life
3. See joe was 3 years younger to the day
acting like a 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 aint built for 3
R: Hey joey come...
*: News gets around in this fading neighborhood
the old man lost the restaurant
he drinks more than he should
its time for joey keys to do some good
pick the lock off our lives
lets get out of here like we always said we would
R: Hey joey come...
X: Come on...
Tell the old man its tomorrow
were off to find somewhere
i pulled some strings got blackbird wings
and broke us out of here
