Joey is a long time friend who was arrested for selling drugs. He married his ex-girlfriend, who was a Swiss citizen, so he could flee to Switzerland (on the very day he was to appear in court). They eventually got divorced but he still lives there to this day.

1st Verse

Joey broke the law dealing was the crime
All is forgiven he’s still a friend of mine
Chased by the feds he married then he fled
The rich girls’ connection came through just in time


Chorus

Fate deals a hand and Joey’s on the run
Fate deals a hand and Joey’s on the run


2nd Verse

Joey is off hiding in a far away land
Living day to day a now forgotten man
Is he now free or trapped by the sea?
With nowhere to run and no place to flee


Chorus

Fate deals a hand and Joey’s on the run
Fate deals a hand and Joey’s on the run


Bridge/Guitar Solo

3rd Verse

Joey’s so-called wife has long since departed
He’s now all alone standing broken hearted
Will he remain and conquer his pain
Or return to the place where he is still wanted


Chorus

Fate deals a hand and Joey’s on the run
Fate deals a hand and Joey’s on the run
(Repeat)
