GRACE POTTER AND THE NOCTURNALS LYRICS - Joey

"Joey"



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 oull 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 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



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 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 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 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 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 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's a bad man, pay no mind, pay no mind
