[C]
[F]
[C] Mama told her, baby girl, take it real slow
Girl told her mama, hey, I really gotta go
[Am] He's waiting in the car
Mama said, [F] girl, you won't get far
[C] Thus are the dreams of an average Jane
Ninety miles an hour down a lover's lane
[G] [Am] On a tank of [B] dreams
[Am] Oh, if [E] she [F] could have [C] only [F] seen
But [G] fate's got cards [Dm] and it [F] don't [C] want [F] show
[G] And that boy's [Dm] just a [C] walk away joke
Born to be [G] a leaver, [Am] tell you from the word go
Destined [C] to deceive her, [F] he's the wrong kind of [Bb] paradise
She's gonna [F] know it in a matter of [G] time
That boy's just [C] a walk away joke
[F]
[G] Now [C] just a little while into Abilene
Pulls into a station and he robs it clean
[Am] She's waiting in the car
Oh, underneath [F] the Texaco star
She [C] only wanted love, didn't bargain for this
[Dm] [C] She can't help but love him for the way he is
[Am] She's only seventeen
[F] And [G] there ain't [F] no reasoning
So [G] she'll ride this ride [Dm] as far as [C] it can [F] go
[G] That boy's [C] just a walk away joke
Born to be a leaver, tell you from the word go
Destined to deceive her, [F] he's the wrong kind of paradise
She's gonna know it in a matter [G] of time
That boy's just a [C] walk away joke
[Dm] [Am]
[Bb]
[C] [Dm] [Am]
[F] [G]
[Dm] [C]
[F] [C] Somewhere in a roadside motel room
Alone in the silence, she wakes up too soon
And [Am] reaches for his arm
She'll just [F] keep reaching on
[C] For the [G] cold hard truth
[Dm] [F] Revealed what [Em] it had [F] known
[G]
That boy's [C] just a walk away joke
Born to be a [G] leaver, [Am] tell you from the word go
Destined to deceive her, [F] he's the wrong kind of [Bb] paradise
But [F] it was just another lesson [G] in life
That boy [C] was a walk away joke
[Am]
All he [G] was, [C] was a walk away joke
[Am] He [G] [F] [C]
[Am] was a walk away joke
[C]
[D] [Am]
[Dm] [C]
