Heart Shaped World

Joey was a fighter 
and he fought to dream 
he said someday he would have a fancy car 
and he'd leave tennesse 


I was just a shy wallflower 
just a wided eyed, teenager girl 
But maybe, intrigue, or just insanity 
made me want to enter Joey's world 
he's touch made me feel beautiful 
so much passion, I lost my head 


he was just like James Dean of Tennesse 
he was a movie star 
in 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 


he was just like James Dean of Tennesse 
he was a movie star 
in a young girl's dream 
From what I hear he could never leave 
But to me he'll always be 
James Dean in Tennessee


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 


he was just like James Dean of Tennesse 
he was a movie star 
in a young girl's dream 
From what I hear he could never leave 
But to me he'll always be 
James Dean in Tennessee
