Joey was the youngest kid of three and he looked the part His brothers said he had a baby face but he had fire in his heart He could compete at anything cause everything won He learned fight for what he thought was right and he never used a gun They say he had it all but there was one thing he didn’t have He tried to take her home one night from the smoke of a local tav Go Joey go they cried as he walk her out the door Then a shout rang through the crowd he shouted “she’s just whore” Joey said apologize but the guy was a drunken ass He tried to take a swing at Joey but his fists weren’t quite as fast Joey fired a crashing blow and the guy dropped like a rock And Joey heard the angels sing and they told him in their song Run Joey run they cried the law is after you Run Joey run he ran like a scared young man will do They cornered him in Union Town one cold October night They say he was too tired to run, too tired to put up a fight But Joey heard the angels sing that same old haunting song He grabbed a gun from the sheriff’s hand And he ran even though he was wrong Run Joey run they cried the law is after you Run Joey run he ran like a scared young man will do A shot rang through the night and it tore threw a young man’s head A crowd of people gathered round, Joey, he was dead The news got back to his family and it cut like a jagged knife And the whole town cried why’d two young men die the night Joey took his own life Run Joey run they cried the law is after you Run Joey run he ran like a scared young man will do Run Joey run they cried the law is after you Run Joey run he ran but Joey’s time had come
