Here’s one from my teenage years, for some reason it stuck in my head....
David Geddes
Run Joey Run lyrics
(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!!!
Reminds me of that country tune by Rodney Akins, Cleaning My Gun. Have you heard it? Actually, I hate the song, but the lyrics are funny.
Also reminds me of a true story I heard. Way back when this guy was dating his future wife (she was a lot younger than he), the guy met her father for the first time. The dad was a champion marksman. The dad told this guy, while the two were alone in the study, that it’s funny how a person can’t outrun a bullet.
That’s a true story.
