Jessica Andrews - James Dean In Tennessee lyrics

Joey was a fighter

And he fought to dream

He said someday he would have a fancy car

And he'd leave Tennessee

I was just a shy wallflower

Just a wide eyed teenage girl

But maybe intrigue or just insanity

Made me want to enter Joey's world

His touch made me feel beautiful

So much passion I lost my head

He was like James Dean in Tennessee

He was a movie star, a young girls dream

From what I hear he could never leave

But to me hell always be

James Dean in Tennessee

He tired to smoke them cigarettes

And he always made me laugh

He said I'd be his pickup truck queen

And someday Id be his better half

I left there a year ago

And I heard the rebel went bad

That he had just served time for a minor crime

And he was living with his old man

He was like James Dean in Tennessee

He was a movie star, a young girls dream

From what I hear he could never leave

But to me hell always be

James Dean in Tennessee

I wonder what ol' Joey thinks when he hears me singing on the radio

Will he ever know that I loved him so

Sometimes we're meant to stay

Sometimes we're meant to go, yeah

He was like James Dean in Tennessee

He was a movie star, a young girls dream

From what I hear he could never leave

But for me hell always be

James Dean in Tennessee
