Lyrics
Joey was a rebel in his own mind
He knew his life was short on time
To make a noise and ride the wave
To live the life that made him feel alive

Joey went down to Austin Texas
To find a street and chase a dream
Explore the endless possibilities,
But nothings ever what it seems

Joey had the music in his hands
Didn't need anyone telling him how to dance
Yeah Joey knew what it would take to get a chance
Joey to his guitar and joined the band

Joey got a job with the Johnny Rock band
Partied all night with the rock 'n roll fans
He worked real hard and held all the right cards
But he never got a chance to play his hand

Johnny had a cornflake for a brain
Blew it all on beer and cocaine
And the road goes on forever
'til Joey said you're driving me insane

Joey had the music in his hands
Didn't need anyone telling him how to dance
Yeah Joey knew what it would take to get a chance
Joey to his guitar and quit the band

Joey's fingers trembled as he walk out to the stage
The lights came up to greet him and the music played
Austin City Limits live…

An old man sat in the corner there
With a cowboy hat and long gray hair
At the end of the night he said, "Boy let's make a sale"
"I want to see you shine"
"I can see you in the bright lights"
And Joey said " save your greedy eyes for some one who wants to live that kind of life"
"That ain't me"

It's 3am and ain't no money made
Sitting on the corner was blind man Wade
He played all night beneath the street light
But he didn't make enough to buy new shades

Joey walked up and heard the sound
Sat next to him on the ground
Said lets play another round
And I'll give all the dirty money that I made

Joey had the music in his hands
Didn't need anyone telling him how to dance
Yeah Joey knew what it would take to get a chance
Joey to his guitar and played his hand

Joey had the music in his hands…
