Strawbs - Joey And Me lyrics

rate me

Joey and me were out on the freeway<br />

Leaving the city race<br />

Out of the hustle, into the country<br />

Searching for open space<br />

Shoulder to should, mile for mile<br />

But neither of us knew where<br />

Sleeping at night out under the stars<br />

Inhaling the mountain air.<br />

<br />

Under the open skies<br />

Living in paradise<br />

Joey and me were free<br />

Nobody else allowed<br />

Anyone more's a crowd<br />

Joey and me makes three.<br />

<br />

Often we talked of wasting our time<br />

And bridges that we had crossed<br />

But mostly we looked in vain for ourselves<br />

Forgetting that we were lost<br />

Joey and me were two of a kind<br />

In love with our own ideals<br />

Aiming to keep the gathering years<br />

In pace with our rolling wheels.<br />

<br />

Let me tell you how it all went wrong<br />

How me and Joey didn't belong<br />

We were tripping the light fantastic<br />

Intergalactic<br />

Joey and me.<br />

<br />

The wilderness road had taken its toll<br />

I knew I could never last<br />

The lines had gone down in a f;lurry of snow<br />

The winter was on us fast<br />

I made my way back into the city<br />

Hitched to a guiding star<br />

Joey is out on his own again<br />

He's richer than me by far.
