Walk Away Joe

Artists : Trisha Yearwood : Walk Away Joe

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
90 miles an hour down a lover's lane
on a tank of dreams
oh, if should could have only seen
that fate's got cards that it don't wanna show

and that boy's just a walk away 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 walk away joe

now just a little while into abeline
pulls into a station and he robs it clean
she's waiting 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 aint no reasoning
so she'll ride this ride as far as it will go

cause that boy's just a walk away 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 walk away joe

somewhere in a road side 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 reavealed
what is had known

that boy's just a walk away 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 walk away joe

all he was was a walk away joe
walk away joe
he was a walk away joe
