F Joey Keys was from my neighborhood C Some would say that he was bad and Dm Joe thought that was good A# F A# F Joey got the name "Keys" picking locks Gm Am He never really robbed no one A# it sure amused the cops F Joey's parents owned a restaurant C Dm After closing time they'd give us almost anything we'd want A# F A# F I never cared that Joey Keys was slow Gm Am Though he couldn't read or write too well A# but we'd talk all night long F Come on, come on, come on A# What you gonna do with your life? Gm Oh, Come on, come on, come on A# Chasing sparks in the nights F His old man said tomorrow A# is a ride that goes nowhere Gm Am But I'll pull some strings, get blackbird wings A# And break us out of there Chorus: C Hey Joey Dm C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams A# Tell me all the sights you're gonna see Gm Tell me who you're gonna be C Hey Joey Dm You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight Gm Sometimes you got to stand and fight Am A# It'll be alright We're gonna find F Dsus2 C 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 C Dm A# Gm C Dm Gm Am A# Hey Joe D# A# News gets around in this fading neighborhood F The old man lost the restaurant He drinks more than he should D# A# It's time for Joey keys to do some good Gm Pick the lock off our lives Am A# let's get out of here like we always said we would Chorus: C Hey Joey Dm C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams A# Tell me all the sights you're gonna see Gm Tell me who you're gonna be C Hey Joey Dm You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight Gm Sometimes you got to stand and fight Am A# It'll be alright We're gonna find F A# a better life F A# Find a better life F A# Gm C Find a better life F Come on, come on, come on What you gonna do with your life?
