Well it sure didn't take too long I woke up this morning she was gone And the note that she wrote Didn't say Dear John, just goodbye sucker I'm gone She was a homegrown mountain girl Raised in a different world I was a want to be rocker She was more into Merle Couldn't see it just wouldn't work And now I'm double fisting long necks, grapefruit and Stoli Never getting over Joely Well I poured myself in my car I drove it on down to the bar But they wouldn't let me in Cause I ain't a movie star So I went to the Horse Shoe on Lamar The bouncer threw me out there too And I didn't know what to do So I picked up the phone And I called dear Sue But the call block wouldn't let me through And now I'm wishing for some drugs or a shrink to console me But I'm never getting over Joely Well I gathered up all my guns And a pipe bomb just for fun And I drove to her house and parked on the lawn That's right I always was a crazy one. Well her boyfriend was sure nice to me Said calm down would you like a drink And then I shot him full of holes From his nose to his knees And I polished off her little sweet pea And I'm crying on me knees feeling dirty and unholy But I'm never getting over Joely Now I'll probably get life and serve at least forty, But I'm never getting over Joely
