Blossom and Six were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4H Club
Both active in the FFA
After graduation Blossom went out lookin'
for a bright new world
Six looked all around this town
and all she found was Joey

Well it wasn't two weeks
after she got married that
Six started gettin' abused
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
And make-up to cover a bruise
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
She let the law take it from there
But Joey walked right through that restraining order
And put her in intensive care

Right away Blossom flew in from Atlanta
On a red eye midnight flight
She held Six's hand as they
worked out a plan
And it didn't take long to decided

That Joey had to die
Goodbye Joey
Those black-eyed peas
They tasted all right to me Joey
You're feeling weak
Why don't you lay down
and sleep Joey
Ain't it dark
Wrapped up in that tarp Joey

The cops came to bring Joey in
They searched the house
high and low
Then they tipped their hats
and said 'Thank You ladies
if you hear from him let us know'

Well the weeks went by and
Spring turned to Summer
And Summer faded into Fall
And it turns out he was a missing person
who nobody missed al all

So the girls bouth some land
and a roadside stand
Out on Highway 109
They sell Tennessee ham
and strawberry jam
And they don't
lose any sleep at night 'cause

Joey had to die
Goodbye Joey
We need a break
Let's go out to the lake Joey
We'll pack a lunch
And stuff you in the trunk Joey
Well is that all right
Good Let's go for a ride
Joey hey
