"Walk Away Joe (Live)" lyrics

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"
And thus are the dreams of an average Jane
90 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 wanna show, no

'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

Now 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, didn't bargain for this
She can't help but love him for the way that he is
She's only 17
Oh, and there ain't no reasoning

So she'll ride this ride as far as it will go, yeah

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

Everybody, give it up for Aben

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

'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
Oh yeah
That boy's just a walkaway Joe
Ooh
That boy's just a walkaway Joe

Thank you
