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 LOVERS LANE
ON A TANK OF DREAMS
OH IF SHE COULD'VE
ONLY SEEN
BUT FATE'S GOT CARDS
THAT IT DON'T
WANT TO 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
KIND OF PARADISE
SHE'S GONNA KNOW IT
IN A MATTER OF TIME
THAT BOY'S JUST A
WALKAWAY JOE
4 BAR
BREAK
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
KIND OF PARADISE
SHE'S GONNA KNOW IT
IN A MATTER OF TIME
THAT BOY'S JUST A
WALKAWAY JOE
16 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
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
KIND OF PARADISE
BUT IT WAS JUST
ANOTHER LESSON
IN LIFE
THAT BOY WAS A
WALKAWAY JOE
ALL HE WAS
WAS A
WALKAWAY JOE
OOH OOH OOH OOH
HE WAS A
WALKAWAY JOE
