RUN JOEY RUN
(Jack Perricone / Paul Vance)


David Geddes - 1975




(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)

She called me up, late last 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 his this way, my God, he's going crazy
He says he's gonna make you pay, for what we've 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)

I got in my car and I drove like mad, till I reached Julie's place
She ran to me, with tears in her eyes, and bruises on her face
All at once, I saw him there, sneaking 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 gonna get married)
(Aaaahhh-aaaahhhh. aaaahhhh-aaaahhhhh)

Run Joey run Joey run Joey run Joey run Joey run
