paroles de chanson Joey - Bon Jovi

Joey Keys was from my neighborhood
Some would say that he was bad
And Joe thought that was good
(They) 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
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 night
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 here

Hey Joey, come on 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"

Hey Joey, come on tell me 'bout your dreams
Tell me all the sights you're gonna see
Tell me who you're gonna be (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

Hey Joey, tell me 'bout your dreams
Tell me all the sights you're gonna see
Tell me who you're gonna be (who you're gonna be)
Hey Joey, you're gonna kiss the girls goodnight
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
Hey what you gonna do with your life?
Come on, come on, come on
Chasing sparks in the night
Tell the old man it's tomorrow
We're off to find somewhere
I pulled those strings, got blackbird wings
That got us out of here
