So she’ll ride this ride as far as it can go

Artist- Trisha Yearwood
Song of the day- Walk away joe

The CMAs are on tonight and though I am not watching them it did get me in the country mood. It reminded me of earlier today when I rejected spicy red peppers on my pizza and my friend Jaime retorted in disgust, "what kind of Texan are you?" Welp, I'm the kinda Texan that hates spicy food, never owned wranglers, runs from refried beans, has only spurts of an accent, uses what my friend Blake calls "fake southern manners", never roped a cow and doesn't watch the CMAs. But I'm also the kind of Texan that loves meat, sunsets,southern charm, two stepping, saying "y'all" and appreciates GOOD country music. Like Trisha Yearwood. Now this is a classic country tail without the beer or pickup truck references. And also I just realized Matthew McConaughey is the walk away Joe! You can't get more country than that! So here's a little of my southern side for your liking. Y'all come back now ya here!



Momma told her baby, girl take it real slow
Girl told her momma hey I really gotta go
He’s waitin’ in the car
Momma said girl you won’t get far
Thus are the dreams of an average jane
Ninety miles an hour down a lovers lane
On a tank of dreams
Oh if she could’ve only seen
But fate’s got cards that it don’t want to show
And that boy’s just

A walkaway joe
Born to be a leaver
Tell you from the word go, destined to deceive her
He’s a wrong kinda paradise
She’s gonna know it in a matter of time
That boy’s just a walkaway joe

Now just a little while into abilene
Pulls into a station and he robs it clean
She’s waitin’ in the car
Underneath the texaco star
She only wanted love didn’t bargain for this
She can’t help but love him for the way he is
She’s only seventeen
And there ain’t no reasoning
So she’ll ride this ride as far as it can go
Cause that boy’s just

A walkaway joe
Born to be a leaver
Tell you from the word go, destined to deceive her
He’s a wrong kinda paradise
She’s gonna know it in a matter of time
That boy’s just a walkaway joe

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

A walkaway joe
Born to be a leaver
Tell you from the word go, destined to deceive her
He’s a wrong kinda paradise
She’s gonna know it in a matter of time
That boy’s just a walkaway joe
