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 ." </P> <P> 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 . </P> <P> 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 . Julie warns Joey that her father is armed and urges him to run away to safety . Instead, he rushes to her house and finds her with multiple bruises . She tearfully rushes to his arms . </P>
