[Verse 1]
 C                                               C
Mama told her baby girl, take it real slow... Girl told her mama, hey, I really gotta go....
         Am                                       F             F
he's waitin' in the car.....mama said, girl you won"t get far..

 C                                        C
Thus are the dreams of an average jane...90 miles an hour, down a lover's lane....
         Am                                   F         F
on a tank of dreams..oh, if she could've only seen...

[Pre-chorus]
 G                      Dm             F          G
that fate's got cards that it don't wanna show...

                        C                                     Am
an' that boy's just a walkaway joe, born to be a leaver, tell ya from the word go...
                                   F                    Bb
destined to deceive her, he's the wrong kind of paradise...
 F                                   G                        C                  Dm   C
she's gonna know it in a matter of time....that boy's just a walkaway joe..

Just a little while into Abilene, pulls into a station and he robs it clean....
       Am                                      F          F
she's waitin' in the car....oh,underneath the Texaco star...

 C                                                  C
She only wanted love...didn't bargain for this....she can't help but love him for the way he is...
     Am                                 F              F
she's only seventeen...and there ain't no reasoning.....

[Pre-chorus]
 G                            Dm               F      G
so, she'll ride this ride as far as it can go...

[Chorus]
                           C                                        Am
'cause that boy's just a walkaway joe....born to be a leaver... tell ya from the word go...
                                      F                Bb
destined to deceive her, he's the wrong kind of paradise...
               F                      G
she's gonna know it in a matter of time...
                     C
.that boy's just a walkaway joe..

[Bridge]
 Dm Am  Bb Bb  Dm Am F G           C

 C                                                          C
Somewhere in a roadside motel room... alone in the silence... she wakes up too soon...
      Am                                         F           F
 and reaches for his arm...but she'll just keep reaching on....
          G                 Dm                   F   G    G
for the cold, hard truth revealed what it had known....

[Chorus]
                    C                                         Am
that boy's just a walkaway joe....born to be a leaver... tell ya from the word go...
                                     F                Bb                 F                   G
destined to deceive her, he's the wrong kind of paradise..but it was just another lesson in life
                 C               Am                              C
that boy was a walkaway joe.....ooooh yeah.....all he was was a walkaway joe
