Walkaway Joe Lyrics
Momma told her baby girl take it real slow
Gir told her momma "Hey I really gotta go he's waiting in the car"
Momma said "Girl you won't get far"
Thus are the dreams of an average Jane
Ninety miles and hour down on lovers lane
With a tank of dreams
Oh if she could've only seen
But fates got cards said it don't wanna show
And that boy's just a walkaway Joe
Born to be a leaver til you form the word go
desitined 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
Oh underneath the Texico stars
She only wanted love didn't bargain for this
She can't help but love with him for the way he is
She's only 17, 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 til you form 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 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 til you form 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

The Song Remembers When
How Do I Live
Love this song but sometimes we cna't help ourselves. It's like we didn't have a chance.
this song hit me hard because when i was 16 i became pregnant with my wonderful daughter andd i was so happy i went and told my boyfriend at the time (her father) he was happy too and then we got married and he start to become abusive he also slept around on my and one day he never came home a about a week later i got the divorce papers and he hasnt seen ihis daughter since then and that was two years ago now and me and my daughter are doing great
You can't trust men!
I think every woman goes through a relationship like this in their life. They put all their faith and trust in men and they get screwed over by them in the end.
Great song.
