Joey was a fighter And he fought to dream He said some day he would have a fancy car And he'd leave tennessee
I was just a shy wallflower Just a wide-eyed teenage girl But maybe intrigue or just insanity Made me want to enter joey's world
His touch made me feel beautiful So much passion I lost my head
(chorus) He was just like james dean in tennessee He was a movie star A young girl's dream From what I hear he could never leave But to me he'll always be James dean in tennessee
He tried to smoke them cigarettes And always made me laugh He said I'd be his pick-up truck queen And someday I'd 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 crime 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 that I loved him so Sometimes we're meant to stay Sometimes we're meant to go
