James Dean in Tennessee lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
He tried to smoke them cigarettes
And he 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]
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

[Bridge]
I wonder what old 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]
He was 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

[Outro]
James Dean in Tennessee
James Dean in Tennessee
James Dean in Tennessee
James Dean in Tennessee
James Dean in Tennessee
