■ ■ ■     Mama told her baby Girl take it real slow
     C                                  
Girl told her mama Hey I really gotta go
Cmaj7        C      Cmaj7
He's waiting in the car  
                   F            
Mama said Girl you won't get far
C                                     
Thus are the dreams of an average Jane
C                                      
Ninety miles an hour down a lovers lane
             C      G
On a tank of dreams ■
Am7                Fmaj7 C F   
Oh if she could've only  ■ seen
     G                     Dm7              F    G  
That fate's got cards that it don't want to show and


[Chorus]
                  C           
That boy's just a walkaway Joe
C                                            
Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go
Am7                    
Destined to deceive her
         F             Bb      
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


[Verse]
Gsus4     C                               
■     Now just a little while into Abilene
   C                                        
He pulls into a station and he robs it clean
      Am7                                  F          
She's waiting in the car oh underneath the Texaco star
    C                                       
She only wanted love didn't bargain for this
C                                            
She can't help but love him for the way he is
Am7                                     F        
She's only seventeen and there ain't no reasoning
          G                 Dm7           F        
So she'll ride this ride as far as it can go 'cause


[Chorus]
G                   C           
■ That boy's just a walkaway Joe
                             Am7             
Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go
Am7                    
Destined to deceive her
         Fmaj7         Bb      
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

[Verse]
C                       C         
Somewhere in a roadside motel room
C                                         
Alone in the silence she wakes up too soon
    Cmaj7              
And reaches for his arm
                     F          
But she'll just keep reaching on
        G               Dm       Dm7  Dm     F     G
For the cold hard truth revealed what it had known ■
                  C            
That boy's just a walk away Joe


[Chorus]
                             Am7             
Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go
Am7                    
Destined to deceive her
         F             Bb      
He's the wrong kind of paradise
           F                      G   
But it was just another lesson in life
               C           
That boy was a walkaway Joe
   Am7 Am     
Mm ■   ■  yeah
                 C            Am7
All he was was a walkaway Joe ■

Am7 C Am7
