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
