I come home from workin' 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'd like to cause a scene Just hit reverse and pull out slow
And don't pay no mind to Joey 'Cause Joey don't treat me good no more And 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 and then he'll break down your gate And he'll throw you to the floor
Well, he looks me in the eye He'll hit me 'till I cry He's tryin' to get inside my door
Don't pay no mind to Joey 'Cause Joey don't treat me good no more Don't pay no mind to Joey Joey don't treat me good no more
Well, well, well, well, well You can't even stop and shout 'Cause it's all over now And there ain't nothin' left to say
Don't pay no mind to Joey 'Cause Joey don't treat me good no more Don't pay no mind to Joey 'Cause Joey don't treat me good no more
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 and now my brother's got a broken rib
Well, the judge and jury all agreed Joey did a dirty deed And 50 years is what the order said
But don't pay no mind to Joey 'Cause Joey don't treat me good no more Don't pay no mind to Joey Joey don't treat me good no more, no more
Well, he didn't understand The judge raised up his hand And said, "You'd better leave that girl alone, leave her alone"
Don't pay no mind to Joey 'Cause Joey don't treat me good no more Don't pay no mind to Joey 'Cause Joey don't treat me good no more
Don't pay no mind to Joey Joey don't treat me good no more, no more That's what I said I said, don't pay no mind, pay no mind Pay no mind, pay no mind, pay no mind, pay no mind No mind, pay no mind, pay no mind, pay no mind
