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
