Joey And Me (1976 Session) - Strawbs

Joey and me were out on the freeway

Leaving the city race

Out of the hustle, into the country

Searching for open space

Shoulder to should, mile for mile

But neither of us knew where

Sleeping at night out under the stars

Inhaling the mountain air

Under the open skies

Living in paradise

Joey and me were free

Nobody else allowed

Anyone more’s a crowd

Joey and me makes three

Often we talked of wasting our time

And bridges that we had crossed

But mostly we looked in vain for ourselves

Forgetting that we were lost

Joey and me were two of a kind

In love with our own ideals

Aiming to keep the gathering years

In pace with our rolling wheels

Let me tell you how it all went wrong

How me and Joey didn’t belong

We were tripping the light fantastic

Intergalactic

Joey and me

The wilderness road had taken its toll

I knew I could never last

The lines had gone down in a f;lurry of snow

The winter was on us fast

I made my way back into the city

Hitched to a guiding star

Joey is out on his own again

He’s richer than me by far
