Grace Potter And The Nocturnals - Joey lyrics

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 Just hit reverse and pull out slow (CHORUS) 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 Chorus (x1) Well, well, well, well . . You can't even stomp and shout 'Cause it's all over now And there ain't nothing left to say Chorus (x1) 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 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 order said Chorus (x1) He didn't understand The judge raised up his hand And said "You'd better leave that girl alone" Leave her alone . . Chorus (x1) No don't pay no mind to Joey 'Joey don't treat me good no more, no more That's what I said, I said Well don't pay no mind, pay no mind Pay no mind, pay no mind (repeat to fade)
