James Dean In Tennessee Lyrics - Heart Shaped World - Jessica Andrews

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 

[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 

[Chorus]
