"Run Joey Run" is a teenage tragedy song performed by soft rock singer David Geddes. It was a U.S. Top 40 hit which peaked at #4 in the fall of 1975. ==Story== The song opens with a female pleading with her father: ''"Daddy, please don't! It wasn't his fault; he means so much to me. ''Daddy, please don't! We're gonna get married; just you wait and see."'' Geddes sings from first person narrative in the character of the titular young man. Joey recalls the events leading up to a recent tragedy involving his girlfriend Julie, which he relives in his mind every time he tries to sleep. Late one night, Julie calls Joey warning him not to come to her house; she and her dad have had a fight about their relationship, and it turned violent. It is not explicitly stated, but her father's desire for Joey to "pay for what we've done" and her promise of marriage clearly implies that the young couple have had sex, and perhaps that Julie is pregnant because of it (and thus would be marrying to legitimize the child). Julie warns Joey that her father is armed and urges him to stay safely away. Instead, he rushes to her house and finds her with a bruised face. She tearfully rushes to his arms. Julie's father sneaks up behind Joey with his gun, intending to shoot him. Julie sees him and, just a split second before he pulls the trigger, steps into his line of fire. Julie falls and Joey takes her into his arms; she quietly repeats her pleas to her father but dies before she can tell him "just you wait and see". The song ends with a reprise of the chorus: "Run Joey, run Joey, run...." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Run Joey Run」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
