Joey was a fighter
|
And he fought to dream
|
He said someday he would have a fancy car
|
And hed leave Tennessee
|
I was just a shy wallflower
|
Just a wideeyed teenage girl
|
But maybe intrigue or just insanity
|
Made me want to enter Joeys world
|
His touch made me feel beautiful
|
So much passion I lost my head
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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 Id 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 crI'me
|
And he was livin with his old man
|
|
[Repeat chorus]
|
I wonder what ol Joey thinks
|
When he hears me singing on the radio
|
Will he ever know I loved hI'm so
|
Sometimes were meant to stay
|
Sometimes were meant to go
|
[Repeat chorus]
|
