Well Joey went off to fight
In one of them wars
And he seen a lot of things
He never seen before and
Joey never thought the
Fighting would  be done
Till they finally allowed him
To put down his gun so
Joey departed that foreign land,
Never to be seen by him again
And when Joey stepped off
The aeroplane
His family was there
With this refrain

Joey, hey Joey
How the hell have you been
You've gotten so tall with that
Leg made of tin
I know you don't want to hear me say
But a lot has changed since you've been away
So despite the mess you find yourself in
This world's continued to spin

Well Joey saw Nik
At the general store
Tried to get the job back
He had before the war
Nik said Joey
I'm sorry to say
There aint' nothing for you here
Try back another day so
Joey went off to see
His old girl
Tell her his stories
From around the world
But when Joey knocked on
Her front door, it was
Answered by a man
He'd never seen before

Joey, hey Joey
How the hell have you been
You've gotten so tall with that
Leg made of tin
I know you don't want to hear me say
But a lot has changed since you've been away
So despite the mess you find yourself in
This world's continued to spin

Well Joey was a man
Who was down on his luck
He packed up all his things
In a pick up truck he had
No direction
No way back home
Decided to try his luck
Down in Mexico
So Joey wasted away the
Golden years, drowned
A few bad sorrows in
A few god beers
Till Joey decided he wanted back in the war
But the doc said his back couldn't take it no more

Joey, hey Joey
How the hell have you been
You've gotten so tall with that
Leg made of tin
I know you don't want to hear me say
But a lot has changed since you've been away
So despite the mess you find yourself in
This world's continued to spin

Now Joey's not the only one
With something lost
Lets take a look at some folks
And we can see the cost
Jack got indebted lost
His Cadillac Jane
Lost her mind and
It ain't coming back
Like Trevor's arm
The car alarm makes
Mike remember when he
Was heavily armed
Defending the gates
Boy ain't war great
Sacrificing lives for
The sake of the state

Now I don't know
What I've been told
But folks like these
Are as good as gold
But look around
They've been turned to dust
For those little words
In God we trust
So next time you send
Them to war
Please make it something
Worth fight for
And sing

Joey, hey Joey
How the hell have you been
You've gotten so tall with that
Leg made of tin
I know you don't want to hear me say
But a lot has changed since you've been away
So despite the mess you find yourself in
This world's continued
This world's continued
This world's continued spin
