I come home from working 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's like to cause a scene   So just hit reverse and pull out slow      And don't pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more   No, 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, then he'll break down your gate and he'll throw you to the floor   When he looks me in the eye, he'll hit me 'till I cry, he's trying to get inside my door      But don't pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more   No, don't pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more      You can't even stomp and shout 'cause it's all over now and there ain't nothing left to say   But don't pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more   No, 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   That 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   No, don't pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more      He didn't understand, the judge raised up his hand and said "You'd better leave that girl alone"   But don't pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more   No, don't pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more      He's a bad man, pay no mind , pay no mind
