<b>Run Joey Run</b> by <i>David Geddes</i><br />

(Chorus- woman's voice)

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,

But 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!"

(Chorus- woman's voice)

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, and I 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,

Sneaking up behind me (Woman's voice: 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...

(Woman's voice)

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......

Run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey ruuuuuunn!!!
