Run Joey Run

Daddy please don't

It wasn't his fault

He means so much to me

Daddy please don't

We're gonna get married

Just you wait and see

Every night, the same old dream,

I hate to close my eyes

I can't erase the memory,

The sound of Julie's cry

She called me up, late that night

She said, "Joe, don't come over,

My Dad and I just had a fight

And he stormed out the door

I've never seen him act this way,

My God, he's goin' crazy

He said he's gonna make you pay

For what we done, he's got a gun

So run, Joey run, Joey run!"

Daddy please don't

It wasn't his fault

He means so much to me

Daddy please don't

We're gonna get married

Just you wait and see

Got in my car, drove like mad

'Til I reached Julie's place,

She ran to me, with tear-filled eyes

And bruises on her face

All at once I saw him there,

Sneakin' up behind me (Watch out!)

Then Julie yelled, "He's got a gun!"

And she stepped in front of me

Suddenly, a shot rang out

And I saw Julie falling

I ran to her, I held her close

When I looked down, my hands were red!

And here's the last words Julie said...

Daddy please don't

It wasn't his fault

He means so much to me

Daddy please don't

We're gon...na get... mar...ried...
