Mama told her baby girl, take it real slow... Girl told her mama, hey, I really gotta go....
Am F F
he's waitin' in the car.....mama said, girl you won"t get far..

Thus are the dreams of an average jane...90 miles an hour, down a lover's lane....
Am F F
on a tank of dreams..oh, if she could've only seen...
G Dm F G
that fate's got cards that it don't wanna show...
C Am
an' that boy's just a walkaway joe, born to be a leaver, tell ya from the word go...
F Dm
destined to deceive her, he's the wrong kind of paradise...
F G C Dm C
she's gonna know it in a matter of time....that boy's just a walkaway joe..
C C
Just a little while into Abilene, pulls into a station and he robs it clean....
Am F F
she's waitin' in the car....oh,underneath the texaco star...
C C
She only wanted love...didn't bargain for this....she can't help but love him for the way he is...
Am F F
she's only seventeen...and there ain't no reasoning.....
G Dm F G
so, she'll ride this ride as far as it can go...
C Am
'cause that boy's just a walkaway joe....born to be a leaver... tell ya from the word go...
F Dm
destined to deceive her, he's the wrong kind of paradise...
F G
she's gonna know it in a matter of time...

C C
Somewhere in a roadside motel room... alone in the silence... she wakes up too soon...
Am F F
and reaches for his arm...but she'll just keep reaching on....
G Dm F G G
for the cold, hard truth revealed what it had known....
C Am
that boy's just a walkaway joe....born to be a leaver... tell ya from the word go...
F Dm F G
destined to deceive her, he's the wrong kind of paradise...but it was just another lesson in life..
C Am C
that boy was a walkaway joe.....ooooh yeah.....all he was was a walkaway joe
Am C Am
ooooh.....ooooh....oooh .................he was a walkaway joe......... (fade)
