Joey (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Joey Keys was from my neighborhood
Some would say that he was bad and Joe thought that was good
Joey 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 but 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 nights
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 there

[Chorus:]
Hey Joey
C’mon 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."

[Chorus:]
Hey Joey
C’mon 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

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

[Chorus:]
Hey Joey
C’mon 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
Find a better life
Find a better life

Joey will come to see your flowers
Joey will come to while away your hours
But she will tell you you’re not so good for her
She wouldn’t be there if it could be that you were.

Joey has loved but never shown her tears
So she may laugh in the autumn of your years
And when you’re with her, you’ll wonder if it’s true
All they said of a world without you.

Where she may come from
Where she may go
Who she may run from
No one will know
Why she was late may trouble you some
Still you wait for joey to come.

Joey will come when once more it looks like snow
Joey will come when it’s really time to go
And you may smile when you find that you’ve been wrong
You thought you’d found her but she knew you all along

Joey, baby – don’t get crazy
Detours. Fences… I get defensive
I know you’ve heard it all before –
so I don’t say it anymore
I just stand by and let you
fight your secret war.
And though I used to wonder why –
I used to cry till I was dry.
Still sometimes I get a strange pain
inside
Oh, Joey, if you’re hurting so am I.

Joey, honey – I’ve got the money
All is forgiven. Listen, listen
And if I seem to be confused
I didn’t mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you,
well I guess you scared me too.
But we got lucky once before
And I don’t wanna close the door
And if you’re somewhere out there
passed out on the floor.
Oh Joey, I’m not angry anymore.

And when you said i scared you,
Well i guess you scared me too.
But we got lucky once before
And i don’t want to close the door
And if you’re somewhere out there
Passed out on the floor.
Oh joey, i’m not angry anymore.

Born in red hook, brooklyn, in the year of who knows when
Opened up his eyes to the tune of an accordion
Always on the outside of whatever side there was
When they asked him why it had to be that way, "well," he answered, "just
Because."

Larry was the oldest, joey was next to last.
They called joe "crazy," the baby they called "kid blast."
Some say they lived off gambling and runnin’ numbers too.
It always seemed they got caught between the mob and the men in blue.

Joey, joey,
King of the streets, child of clay.
Joey, joey,
What made them want to come and blow you away?

There was talk they killed their rivals, but the truth was far from that
No one ever knew for sure where they were really at.
When they tried to strangle larry, joey almost hit the roof.
He went out that night to seek revenge, thinkin’ he was bulletproof.

The war broke out at the break of dawn, it emptied out the streets
Joey and his brothers suffered terrible defeats
Till they ventured out behind the lines and took five prisoners.
They stashed them away in a basement, called them amateurs.

The hostages were tremblin’ when they heard a man exclaim,
"let’s blow this place to kingdom come, let con edison take the blame."
But joey stepped up, he raised his hand, said, "we’re not those kind of men.
It’s peace and quiet that we need to go back to work again."

Joey, joey,
King of the streets, child of clay.
Joey, joey,
What made them want to come and blow you away?

The police department hounded him, they called him mr. smith
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
"what time is it?" said the judge to joey when they met
"five to ten," said joey. the judge says, "that’s exactly what you get."

He did ten years in attica, reading nietzsche and wilhelm reich
They threw him in the hole one time for tryin’ to stop a strike.
His closest friends were black men ‘cause they seemed to understand
What it’s like to be in society with a shackle on your hand.

When they let him out in ’71 he’d lost a little weight
But he dressed like jimmy cagney and i swear he did look great.
He tried to find the way back into the life he left behind
To the boss he said, "i have returned and now i want what’s mine."

Joey, joey,
King of the streets, child of clay.
Joey, joey,
Why did they have to come and blow you away?

It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun
"i’m around too many children," he’d say, "they should never know of one."
Yet he walked right into the clubhouse of his lifelong deadly foe,
Emptied out the register, said, "tell ‘em it was crazy joe."

One day they blew him down in a clam bar in new york
He could see it comin’ through the door as he lifted up his fork.
He pushed the table over to protect his family
Then he staggered out into the streets of little italy.

Joey, joey,
King of the streets, child of clay.
Joey, joey,
What made them want to come and blow you away?

Sister jacqueline and carmela and mother mary all did weep.
I heard his best friend frankie say, "he ain’t dead, he’s just asleep."
Then i saw the old man’s limousine head back towards the grave
I guess he had to say one last goodbye to the son that he could not save.

The sun turned cold over president street and the town of brooklyn mourned
They said a mass in the old church near the house where he was born.
And someday if god’s in heaven overlookin’ his preserve
I know the men that shot him down will get what they deserve.

Joey, joey,
King of the streets, child of clay.
Joey, joey,
What made them want to come and blow you away?

The first time that i saw you
I went head over heels
You were the one for me
I just adore you
See i’m down on my knees
And now we’ve found each other
I could never leave
Joey, i’ve fallen in love, oh yeah
Joey you’re all i’ll ever need
Joey, i’ve fallen in love, oh yeah
Joey you’re all i’ll ever need

Sometimes when i feel like

They’re trying to control me
With their promises now
But we’ve still got each other
When they try and get us down

Joey, i’ve fallen in love, oh yeah
Joey you’re all i’ll ever need
Joey, i’ve fallen in love, oh yeah
Joey you’re all i’ll ever need

Wouldn’t i be yours
Wouldn’t you be mine
Wouldn’t i always want the things you are
Every day or year
It’s got to be a dream, yes it is, yes it is,
It’s got to be a dream, yes it is.

Wouldn’t i need yours
Wouldn’t you need mine
Wouldn’t i always want the things you are
Every day or year
It’s got to be a dream, yes it is, yes it is,
It’s got to be a dream, yes it is.

Wouldn’t i always think about you
Wouldn’t i every day
Wouldn’t always think about you
Joey’s in a dream
Joey’s in a dream
Joey’s in a dream i had today.

Wouldn’t i be yours

Wouldn’t always think about you

Joey’s in a dream
Joey’s in a dream i had today.

Joey—, joey—-

Joey, where are you going

Where will you sleep tonight

Will you be alright

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Joey, i really love you

Won’t you make here your home so you’ll never live alone anymore, oh

We both took a ride on that merry-go-round

We’ve seen a lot of faces of the same ole’ clowns

But let’s not be a part of that continuous game

Let’s start a new life that will never change

Joey, where are you going

Won’t you take me along, your place is my home

Joey—, hoo, hoo

There’s no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

True fortunes are deeper than the world is old so

We’ve got to dig up and plant love again

Just don’t let it vanish, no

And you settle

My joey, where are you going, where are you going

Dont, don’t, dont go, joey, joey, joey, joey

Don’t you hear me calling, don’t you hear me calling to you

Joey, joey, joey, joey, joey, joey, joey, joey, joey

Hoo, don’t you hear me calling to you, joey, joey, joey

Don’t leave me alone, i wanna be with you

I wanna go with you, i wanna be with you, joey, joey, joey
