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."

This is the story of an average jane

Ninety miles an hour down a lover's lane

On a tank of dreams.

Oh if she could have only seen.

But fates got plans that it don't wanna show '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 the wrong kind of paradise.

She's gonna know it in a matter of time.

That boy's just a walkaway joe.

Just a little while into abilene

He pulls into a station and he robs it clean.

She's waitin' in the car

Underneath the texaco star.

She only wanted love

Never bargained 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 will go but. . .

That boy's just a walkaway joe

Born to be a leaver.

Tell you from the word "go"

Destined to deceive her.

He's the wrong kind of 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 arms.

But she'll just keep reachin' on.

'cause 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 the wrong kind of paradise.

But it was just another lesson in life.

That boy's just a walkaway joe.

All he was was a walkaway joe.

Ooh walkaway joe. . .

Ooh he was a walkaway joe.

Ooh walkaway joe. . .

Yes he was a walkaway joe. . .
