Run Joey Run

Here’s another song featured in American sitcom ‘Glee’ Season 1, in the episode called ‘Bad Raputation.’ It’s one of those narrative ballads, which tells the story of doomed love, Romeo-Juliet style. Nothing extraordinary, but charming. The song is ‘Run Joey Run’ by David Geddes.

David Cole Idema (born July 1, 1950), best known by the stage name David Geddes, is a soft rock singer who had a US Top 5 hit with "Run Joey Run" in 1975, which peaked at #4 in October 1975. More Here.

Run Joey Run

Julie
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

Joey
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
My 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

Julie
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

Joey
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 (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

Julie
Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault
He means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married

aaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah

Run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run
Joey run, Joey run.....!
