Joey Baker Video (MV)

Small town boy, had a best friend
Swore we'd be lovers till the end
But families move on, and the years move in
Never forgot that young man's grin
New York City ain't a place to look back
Wherever you're from it don't mean jack
But then this dude shows up on the block
And somethin' he said gave me a shock
He had a laugh like the laugh I knew
His eyes were bright and familiar, too
How could I not know that face
But what's it doin' in this damn place?

Ooh
Joey Baker said
Ooh

So I checked him out on the internet
He was a city boy and yet
Phone came back to my home town
Was that Joey Baker still around?
So next day down the street he's trippin'
He mighta thought that I'd been nippin'
Asked him if he knew that name
"Joey Baker? One and the same"

Joey Baker got sick and died
The day it happened I didn't even cry
I thought about the boy and I thought about the man
And what it all meant, where it all began
New York City ain't a place to look back
Wherever you're from it don't mean jack
But I still love that little country town
Where Joey Baker and me got down
