As he combed his hair 

The night called out his name 

Like every hero he has to brag and show his fame 

Well Joeys got to prove he's the leader of the pack 

But once you start a running 

There ain't no turning back 

He's the kid that cried wolf and got the blame 



So Joeys on the street again 

But his freedoms running out 

When you play with fire 

One tear can put it out 



Everybody wants Joey to act his age 

But like an eagle he's locked in a parrots cage 

Well Joeys got to prove he's the leader of the pack 

But once you start a running 

There ain't no turning back 

He's the kid that cried wolf and got the blame 



So Joeys on the street again 

But his freedoms running out 

When you play with fire 

One tear can put it out 



So he winks to the mirror 

And brides don't wear his ring 

Even if I could I'm still there try again 



Well Joeys got to prove he's the leader of the pack 

But once you start a running 

There ain't no turning back 

He's the kid that cried wolf and got the blame 



So Joeys on the street again 

But his freedoms running out 

When you play with fire 

One tear can put it out
