Walkaway Joe Lyrics

Walkaway Joe lyrics

Mama told her baby girl take it real slow 
Girl told her momma hey I really gotta go 
He's waiting in the car 
Momma said girl you won't get far 
Thus are the dreams of an average Jane 
Ninety miles an hour down a lovers lane 
On a tank of dreams 
Oh if she could've only seen 
That fate's got cards that it don't wanna show 
That boy's just a walk away Joe 
Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go 
Destined to decieve her 
He's the wrong kind of 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 
He pulls into a station and he robs it clean 
She's waiting in the car, oh, underneath the Texaco star 
She only wanted love didn't bargain for this 
She can't help but love him for the way he his 
She's only seventeen and there ain't no reasoning 
 
So she'll ride this ride as far as it can go 

That boy's just a walk away Joe 
Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go 
Destined to decieve her 
He's the wrong kind of 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 to soon 
And reaches for his arms 
But she'll just keep reaching on 
For the cold hard truth revealed what it had known 

That boy's just a walk away Joe 
Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go 
Destined to decieve her 
He's the wrong kind of paradise 
But it was just another lesson in life 
That boy's just a walkaway Joe 

Mmm yeah 

All he was was a walkaway Joe 
He was a walkaway Joe
