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
