Momma told her baby, girl take it real slow

　　Girl told her momma hey I really gotta go

　　He's waitin' 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

　　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 kinda 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

　　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 kinda 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 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 kinda paradise

　　But it was just another lesson in life

　　That boy was a Walkaway Joe

　　All she wanna just a walkaway Joe

　　Wuu Walkaway Joe

　　You was a walkaway Joe

　　The End

　　The End
