[C] Mama told her, baby girl, take it real slow
Girl told her mama, hey, I really gotta go
[Em] He's waiting in the car
[Em] Mama said, [C] girl, you won't get far _
Thus are the dreams of an average Jane
Ninety miles an hour down a lover's lane
[Am] On a tank of dreams
Oh, if [C] she could have only seen
[G] But fate's got [Dm] cards and it don't [F] wanna show
[G] And that [D] boy's just a [C] walk away joke
Born to be a [Am] leaver, tell you from the word go
Destined to [F] deceive her, he's the wrong kind of [Bb] paradise
[F] She's gonna know it in a [G] matter of time
That [C] boy's just a walk away joke _ _ _ _
Now just a little while into Abilene
Pulls into a station and he robs it [Am] clean
She's waiting in the car
[F] Oh, underneath it takes a cold star
[C] She only wanted love, didn't bargain for this
She can't help but love him for the way he [Am] is
She's only seventeen
And [F] there ain't no reasoning
[G] So she'll ride that [Dm] ride as far [F] as it can go
[G] Cause [C] that boy's just a walk away joke
Born to be a leaver, tell you [Am] from the word go
Destined to [C] deceive her, he's the wrong kind [Bb] of paradise
[F] She's gonna know it in [G] a matter of time
That [C] boy's just a walk away joke

[F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Somewhere in a roadside motel room
Alone in the silence she wakes up too soon
And reaches for his arm
But she'll just keep reaching on
[G] For the cold hard [Dm] truth revealed what [F] it had known
[G] _ _ That [C] boy's just a walk away joke
Born to be a [A] leaver, tell you from the word [Am] go
Destined to [F] deceive her, he's the wrong kind of [Bb] paradise
[F] But it was just another [G] lesson in life
That [C] boy was a walk away joke
[Am] Mmm, yeah
All he [C] was was a walk away joke
A _ _ [Am] _
