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 

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 

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
