Verse 1
Mama told her baby, Girl, take it real slow
Girl told mama, Hey, I really gotta go
He's waitin' in the car
Mama said, Girl, you won't get far

Verse 2
Thus are the dreams of the average Jane
Ninety miles an hour down a lover's lane
On a tank of dreams
Oh, if she could have only seen

Pre-Chorus 1
That fate's got cards that it don't wanna show

Chorus
That boy's just a walkway Joe
Born to be a leaver, tell you from the word go
Destined to deceive her, he's the wrong kind of paradise
She's gonna know it in a matter of time
That boy's just a walkway Joe

Verse 3
Just a little while into Abilene
He pulls into a station, he robs it clean
She's waitin' in the car
Underneath the Texaco star

Verse 4
She only wanted love, never bargained for this
But she can't help but love him for the way he is
She's only seventeen
And there ain't no reasoning

Pre-Chorus 2
And she'll ride this ride as far as it can go

Chorus
'Cause that boy's just a walkway Joe
Born to be a leaver, tell you from the word go
Destined to deceive her, he's the wrong kind of paradise
She's gonna know it in a matter of time
That boy's just a walkway Joe

Verse 5
Somewhere in a roadside motel room
Alone in the silence, she wakes up too soon
Reaches for his arms
But she'll just keep reachin' on
For the cold hard truth revealed what it had known

Chorus
That boy's just a walkway Joe
Born to be a leaver, tell you from the word go
He's destined to deceive her, he's the wrong kind of paradise
But it was just another lesson in life
That boy's a walkway Joe

Outro
Yeah, all he was was a walkway Joe
That boy was just a walkway Joe
