HEY JOEY

Dear joey
It’s late at night
It’s late at night
I was gonna call
I was gonna write
I was gonna write

Hey joey, hey joey

Saw the sun come up
Saw the sun go down
Yeah the sun’s gone down
No lonesome road
Just a lonesome town
It’s a lonesome town

Hey joey, hey joey

I’ve been standing in the rain
& only my eyes are wet
I’ve been waiting on a friend
& he hasn’t come back yet

Dear joey
Guess I should’ve known
I should have known
I wouldn’t find the lines
Wouldn’t reach the phone
Wouldn’t reach the phone

Hey joey, hey joey

I’ve got a restless mind
Not a reckless heart
It’s not a reckless heart
& my boy’s asleep
& the streets are dark
The streets are dark

Hey joey, hey joey

I’ve been standing in the rain
& only my eyes are wet
I’ve been waiting on a friend
& he hasn’t come back yet

& down at the shrine
All the prayers are glowing
All the prayers are glowing
The night is torn
The river’s overflowing
The river’s overflowing

Hey joey, hey joey
Hey joey, hey joey…
