Walkaway Joe

In the style of

Trisha Yearwood

Don Henley

Lyrics

mama told her baby
girl take it real slow
girl told her mama
hey i really gotta go
he's waitin' in the car

mama said
girl you won't get far
thus are the dreams
of an average jane
ninety miles an hour
down a lover's lane
on a tank of dreams

oh if she could've
only seen
but fate's got cards
that it don't
wanna show

and that boy's just
a walkaway joe
born to be a leaver
tell you
from the word go
destined to
deceive her he's a
wrong kinda paradise

she's gonna know it
in a matter of time
that boy's just
a walkaway joe

now just a little
while into abilene
pulls into a station
and he robs it clean
she's waitin' in the car
underneath
the texaco star

she only wanted
love
didn't bargain
for this
she can't help
but love him
for the way he is
she's only seventeen

and there ain't
no reasoning
so she'll ride this ride
as far as it can go

'cause that boy's just
a walkaway joe
born to be a leaver
tell you
from the word go
destined to
deceive her he's a
wrong kinda paradise

she's gonna know it
in a matter of time
that boy's just
a walkaway joe

somewhere in
a roadside motel room
alone in the silence
she wakes up too soon
and reaches
for his arm

but she'll just
keep reachin' on
for the cold hard
truth revealed
what it had known

that boy's just
a walkaway joe
born to be a leaver
tell you
from the word go
destined to
deceive her he's a
wrong kinda paradise

but it was just
another lesson
in life
that boy was
a walkaway joe

mm yeah all he was
was a walkaway joe
ooh ooh ooh ooh
he was
a walkaway joe
mm mm mm
ooh ooh ooh ooh
