[Intro]
C F
[Verse 1]
CMomma told her baby, girl take it real slow
CGirl told her momma hey I really gotta go
He's waitin' Amin the car
Momma said girl you Fwon't get far
CThus are the dreams of an average Jane
CNinety miles an hour down a lovers lane
On Ama tank of dreams
Oh if she could've Fonly seen
But Gfate's got cards that Dmit don't want to Fshow
GAnd that boy's just
[Chorus]
A Cwalkaway Joe
CBorn to be a leaver
Tell you Amfrom the word go, destined to deceive her
He's the Fwrong kind of paraBbdise
She's gonna Fknow it in a matter of time
GThat boy's just a Cwalkaway Joe F
[Verse 2]
Now Cjust a little while into Abilene
CPulls into a station and he robs it clean
She's waiAmtin' in the car
Underneath the FTexaco star
She Conly wanted love didn't bargain for this
CShe can't help but love him for the way he is
She's onAmly seventeen
And there ain't no Freasoning
So she'll Gride this ride as Dmfar as it will Fgo
GCause that boy is just
[Chorus]
A Cwalkaway Joe
CBorn to be a leaver
Tell you Amfrom the word go, destined to deceive her
He's the Fwrong kind of paraBbdise
She's gonna Fknow it in a matter of time
GThat boy's just a Cwalkaway Joe F
[Verse 3]
CSomewhere in a roadside motel room
CAlone in the silence she wakes up too soon
ReaAmches for his arms
But she'll just keep Dmreachin' oFn
For the Gcold hard truth reDmvealed what it had FknoGwn
GThat boy is just
[Chorus]
A Cwalkaway Joe
CBorn to be a leaver
Tell you Amfrom the word go, destined to deceive her
He's the Fwrong kind of paraBbdise
But it was Fjust another lesson in Glife
That boy was just a Cwalkaway Joe
[Outro]
C Am7 He only was was a Cwalkaway Joe Am7
AmThat boy's just a Cwalkaway Joe
