Walkaway Joe  
Trisha Yearwood feat. Don Henley

[Intro] C C Dm Dm

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

C C C C
Thus are the dreams of an average jane...

90 miles an hour, down a lover's lane....
Am Am F F F F
on a tank of dreams..oh, if she could've only seen...
G G Dm Dm F F G G
that fate's got cards that it don't wanna show...

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


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

C C
She only wanted love...didn't bargain for this....
C C
she can't help but love him for the way he is...
Am Am F F F F
she's only seventeen...and there ain't no reasoning.....
G G Dm Dm F F G G
so, she'll ride this ride as far as it can go...

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

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

C C C C
Somewhere in a roadside motel room... alone in the silence... she wakes up too soon...
Am Am F F F F
and reaches for his arm...but she'll just keep reaching on....
G G Dm Dm F F G G G G
for the cold, hard truth revealed what it had known....
C C
that boy's just a walkaway joe....born to be a leaver...
Am Am
tell ya from the word go... Bb Bb F F G G
destined to deceive her, he's the wrong kind of paradise..
F F
but it was just another lesson in life
C C Am Am
that boy was a walkaway joe.....ooooh yeah.....
C C
all he was was a walkaway joe
C C Am Am
ooooh.....ooooh....oooh ...he was a walkaway joe..... (fade)
