James Dean In Tennessee - Lyrics by Chris Isaak


Lyrics
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 cr
I'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 h
I'm so
Sometimes were meant to stay
Sometimes were meant to go
[
Repeat chorus]
