Joey

You said you'd teach me to play the guitar

If I let you take me out for the night

I told you it's a deal, so we didn't go far

Just Chinese food in the neon light

I brought my oldest along for the ride

You showed her how to bowl and aim for the pins

I saw her light up right there by your side

And that's exactly where our story begins

Joey, we’ve been off and on for four years

Through all of the changes, the joy, and the tears

You love my two daughters as if they're your own

When you are protecting us, I'm safely home

I know you're the one for the rest of my life

Just me, you, Baybigurl, and Mini Wheat by our side

You learn every song that I ask you to play

Your fingers just dancing across all the strings

You taught me to shoot pool and find my own way

To stand up for myself and the power that brings

You never let anyone take me for granted

You showed me my worth and you held my hand tight

Through every small seed of the love we have planted

You make me feel safe in the middle of the night

Joey, we’ve been off and on for four years

Through all of the changes, the joy, and the tears

You love my two daughters as if they're your own

When you are protecting us, I'm safely home

I know you're the one for the rest of my life

Just me, you, Baybigurl, and Mini Wheat by our side

Even when we broke up, you stayed in their lives

You never walked away from the girls that we love

You took me to adult prom under the lights

To give me the high school dance I was dreaming of

From water park splashing to the quietest days

You proved you're my partner in so many ways

So Joey, we’ve been off and on for four years

But we made it through all the doubts and the tears

You love my two daughters as if they're your own

When you are protecting us, I'm safely home

I know you're the one for the rest of my life

Just me, you, Baybigurl, and Mini Wheat by our side
