Joey

Somewhere a band in a bistro is soothing a lazy old song
And Joey you're probably calling the waiter
To say that they're playing it wrong
Roaming the streets after classes we'd talk about honor and fame
You, wearing the cares of the world on your
Back like a badge from the varsity games
Was it so long ago?
If I knew the number I'd call
Joey, has life had a few good surprises for you
Since the days when we wanted it all?
How did we ever get older so crazy with nerve and despair?
Thrown with the rest to the worst and the
Best and I'm glad that we had it to share
Maybe you're marching forever still
Wild with your heart on your sleeve
Denouncing the world to a cluster of
Girls all eager to swear they believe
Was it so long ago?
Was it really the battle it seemed?
Joey, the quest for the truth went along with my youth
And it's too late to live without dreams
Was it so long ago?
If I knew the number I'd call
Joey, has life had a few good surprises for you
Since the days when we wanted it all?
