"Joanie" lyrics
Bobby born handsome back in 68
When it came to the world never hesitated
Grew up strong and he grew up fun
And everybody said he was a son of a gun
Joanie was a killer
Man, I wish you could have seen her
Strut her stuff way back in '85
And Bobby wasn't fooling
Yeah he knew what he was doin
When she caught him right between the eyes
Joanie, can't you tell I'm in love with you?
Joanie
Standing before me
American dream
A love supreme
Red, white and blue
Joanie, can't you tell that our love is true?
Joanie
Won't you adore me?
Take on the world on a night with you?
Joanie born pretty, she was long and lean
Had a plan for the world from the time she could dream
Took off out back in a long-bed Ford
And them wheels saw the world like never before
Joanie was a mover
Man, she'd never need to prove it
Just a girl who's got the world by the tail
With Bobby in her orbit
Holding on to give his all
But needs a couple days to get out of jail
Joanie, can't you tell I'm in love with you?
Joanie
Standing before me
American dream
A love supreme
Red, white and blue
Joanie, can't you tell that our love is true?
Joanie
Won't you adore me?
Take on the world on a night with you?
Got the keys to start
And fire up that Ford
Got the keys to my heart
Forever yours, yours
Picture Bobby kicking back in that 8-foot train
With a beer in one hand and 80 miles away
From a home he'd build
From a tree he'd kneel
Just before he put a ring on that finger holding on that wheel
Joanie, can't you tell I'm in love with you?
Joanie
Standing before me
American dream
A love supreme
Red, white and blue
Joanie, can't you tell I'm in love with?
Joanie
Won't you adore me?
Take on the world on a night with you?
When it came to the world never hesitated
Grew up strong and he grew up fun
And everybody said he was a son of a gun
Joanie was a killer
Man, I wish you could have seen her
Strut her stuff way back in '85
And Bobby wasn't fooling
Yeah he knew what he was doin
When she caught him right between the eyes
Joanie, can't you tell I'm in love with you?
Joanie
Standing before me
American dream
A love supreme
Red, white and blue
Joanie, can't you tell that our love is true?
Joanie
Won't you adore me?
Take on the world on a night with you?
Joanie born pretty, she was long and lean
Had a plan for the world from the time she could dream
Took off out back in a long-bed Ford
And them wheels saw the world like never before
Joanie was a mover
Man, she'd never need to prove it
Just a girl who's got the world by the tail
With Bobby in her orbit
Holding on to give his all
But needs a couple days to get out of jail
Joanie, can't you tell I'm in love with you?
Joanie
Standing before me
American dream
A love supreme
Red, white and blue
Joanie, can't you tell that our love is true?
Joanie
Won't you adore me?
Take on the world on a night with you?
Got the keys to start
And fire up that Ford
Got the keys to my heart
Forever yours, yours
Picture Bobby kicking back in that 8-foot train
With a beer in one hand and 80 miles away

Just before he put a ring on that finger holding on that wheel
Joanie, can't you tell I'm in love with you?
Joanie
Standing before me
American dream
A love supreme
Red, white and blue
Joanie, can't you tell I'm in love with?
Joanie
Won't you adore me?
Take on the world on a night with you?
