Intro

Verse 1

Well, it sure didnt take to long

 I woke up in the morning she was gone

And the note that she wrote didnt say dear john

 It said goodbye fucker im gone

She was a homegrown mountain girl

 Raised in a different world

 I was a wanna be rocker She was more into Merle

Couldn't see it just wouldn't work

Chorus

 And now I'm double fisting long necks, grapefruit and Stoli

 But I'm never getting over Joely

Interlude

Verse 2

 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

 Well the bouncer threw me out too

 And I didn't know what to do

 So I picked up the phone And I called dear Sue

 The cock blocker wouldn't let me through

Chorus 2

 And now I'm wishing for some drugs or a shrink to console me

 But I'm never getting over Joely

Interlude

Repeat Twice)

Verse 3

 Well I gathered up all my guns

 And a pipe bomb just for fun

 I drove to her house and parked out on the lawn

 She's right I always was the crazy one.

 Well her boyfriend was sure nice to me

 Said "calm down would you like a drink"

 And I shot him full of holes From his nose to his knees

 And I polished off her little sweet pea

Chorus 3

 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
