Walkaway Joe — текст песни (Trisha Yearwood and Don Henley)

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
She`s gonna know it in a matter of time
That boy`s just a walkaway Joe
