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 wanna 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
