Joey - Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

I come home from working hard

I pull up to my yard and there’s a man I used to know

He used to love me right

But then we had a little fight and now he’s on parole

Well he’s lookin' mighty mean

He likes to cause a scene

So just hit reverse and pull out slow

And don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more

No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more

He wears his shirt untucked

He’s got one eye covered up and he’s got a big 'ol 44

He likes to drink 'til late, then he’ll break down your gate and he’ll throw

you to the floor

When he looks me in the eye, he’ll hit me 'till I cry, he’s trying to get

inside my door

But don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more

No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more

You can’t even stomp and shout 'cause it’s all over now and there ain’t nothing

left to say

But don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more

No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more

He saw me with another man, but he did not understand that I grew up with him

in the same crib

Joey started flaming red, he didn’t hear a word I said and now my brother’s got

a broken rib

Well, the judge and jury all agreed

That Joey did a dirty deed

And 50 yards is what the order said

But don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more

No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more

He didn’t understand, the judge raised up his hand and said «You'd better leave

that girl alone»

But don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more

No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more

He’s a bad man, pay no mind, pay no mind
