I come home from working hard
I pull up to my yard
And there's a man I used to know
He used to love me right
But then we had a little fight
And now he's on parole
Well he's lookin' mighty mean
He's like to cause a scene
Just hit reverse and pull out slow
(CHORUS)
And don't pay no mind to Joey
'Cause Joey don't treat me good no more
No, don't pay no mind to Joey
'Cause Joey don't treat me good no more
He wears his shirt untucked
He's got one eye covered up
And he's got a big 'ol 44
He likes to drink 'til late
Then he'll break down your gate
And he'll throw you to the floor
When he looks me in the eye
He'll hit me 'till I cry
He's trying to get inside my door
Chorus (x1)
Well, well, well, well . . .
You can't even stomp and shout
'Cause it's all over now
And there ain't nothing left to say
Chorus (x1)
He saw me with another man
But he did not understand
That I grew up with him in the same crib
Joey started flaming red
He didn't hear a word I said
Now my brother's got a broken rib
Well, the judge and jury all agreed
That Joey did a dirty deed
And 50 yards is what order said
Chorus (x1)
He didn't understand
The judge raised up his hand
And said "You'd better leave that girl alone"
Leave her alone . . .
Chorus (x1)
No don't pay no mind to Joey
'Joey don't treat me good no more, no more
That's what I said, I said
Well don't pay no mind, pay no mind
Pay no mind, pay no mind (repeat to fade)
