JOEY?S SONG
By: Mike Cloonan
Verse 1
Was my sister?s first child
We were mighty proud
He would drink and go wild
He?d get pretty loud
He knew all the cops and the re-hab crew
They did all they could, there was nothing they could do
Chorus
His spirits and demons won?t leave him alone
His spirits and demons they follow him home
His spirits wait by his door for more
Verse 2
Made all the bouncers look bad
He was built like a tank
And was only a problem
Whenever he drank
When he was good, he stayed home with his mom
In between binges, they?d put movies on
Now the spirits are crying, their all on their own
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
I heard someone saying he?s finally at peace
Heaven won?t be the same, so said the priest
And though he?s not here, his antics live on
As long as I live, he will never be gone
Now the bottle is broken, Joe finally won.
Repeat Chorus
Verse 4
His spirits and demons have left him alone
His spirits and demons can?t follow him home
His spirits and demons won?t knock on his door anymore
Hey Joe, where you going with that bottle in your hand
Said I?m going uptown I got a meeting with the big I AM
