WALK AWAY JOE Trisha Yearwood

C

Momma told her baby, girl take it real slow

Girl told her momma hey I really gotta go

Dm F

He’s waitin’ in the car

Dm F G

Momma said girl you won’t get far

C

Thus are the dreams of an average Jane

Ninety miles an hour down a lovers lane

Dm F Dm F

Tell you from the word go, destined to deceive her

F Bb

He’s a wrong kinda parad-ise

C G

1.& 2.)She’s gonna know it in a matter of time

3.) But it was just another lesson in life

F G C

That boy’s just a walkway Joe

Now just a little while into Abilene

C

Pulls into a station and he robs it clean

G F G

go to chorus, to lead, to third verse

C

Somewhere in a roadside motel room

C

Alone in the silence she wakes up too soon

Dm F Dm F

And reaches for his arm But she’ll just keep reachin’ on

G F G

For the cold hard truth revealed what it had known That boy’s just

go to chorus.
