"Run Joey Run" lyrics - DAVID GEDDES

[Female:]
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!

[Male:]
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 going crazy!
He said he's gonna make you pay
For what we done-- he's got a gun!
So run, Joey run, Joey run!"

[Female:]
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!

[Male:]
Got in my car, and I drove like mad
Till 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,
Sneaking up behind me
[Female:] 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...

[Female:]
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...

[Both:]
Run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run!!!
