Joey was a lover
A loser at his best He held a lot of ladies
And he left 'em for the rest
'Cause mama was a cheater
and daddy never lied.
"Joey hold her like you need her,
but only use her once or twice."
"and if you find your world
is turning upside down,
before the poison hits your blood..."
Chorus:
You gotta run, run, run
Before the heartache comes.
Joey better run, run, run
With your face to the sun.
Pull your hat down tight
And keep your heels down son
You better run, you better run.
She was walking in a rhythm
At the scene of the crime.
Where were you that evening
Mister you were right on time.
Oh you never saw it coming
And she's got it all.
Turning hours into days
Joey can you take this fall.
Hearts under pressure
As you turn and walk away
Before it all just come undone.
(chorus)
Like a moonlit bandit
You're lying in the dark.
Wide awake and wondering
Joey gonna play it smart.
She's everywhere around you
And just the smell of her hair
Could lift you right out of the blues
Can you see her there.
Why don't you turn back
And settle in her arms.
She cries tonight in the wind.
(chorus 2x)
