walkaway joe (the bootlegger sessions) - michael ray lyrics
[verse 1]
mama told her baby, “girl, take it real slow”
girl told mama, “hey, i really gotta go
he’s waitin’ in the car”
mama said, “girl, you won’t get far”
[verse 2]
thus are the dreams of the average jane
ninety miles an hour down a lover’s lane
on a tank of dreams
oh, if she could have only seen
[pre*chorus 1]
that fate’s got cards that it don’t wanna show
[chorus]
that boy’s just a walkway 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 walkway joe
[verse 3]
just a little while into abilene
he pulls into a station, he robs it clean
she’s waitin’ in the car
underneath the texaco star
[verse 4]
she only wanted love, never bargained for this
but she can’t help but love him for the way he is
she’s only seventeen
and there ain’t no reasoning
[pre*chorus 2]
and she’ll ride this ride as far as it can go
[chorus]
’cause that boy’s just a walkway 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 walkway joe
[verse 5]
somewhere in a roadside motel room
alone in the silence, she wakes up too soon
reaches for his arms
but she’ll just keep reachin’ on
for the cold hard truth revealed what it had known
[chorus]
that boy’s just a walkway joe
born to be a leaver, tell you from the word “go”
he’s destined to deceive her, he’s the wrong kind of paradise
but it was just another lesson in life
that boy’s a walkway joe
[outro]
yeah, all he was was a walkway joe
that boy was just a walkway joe
