Well it sure didn't take too long 
G                   C                           G 
I woke up this morning she was gone 
             Em                C 
And the note that she wrote 
         G              C             G            D               G 
Didn't say Dear John  just goodbye sucker I'm gone 
G                                   C              G                                
She was a homegrown mountain girl 
G                C          G  
Raised in a different world 
            Em           C 
I was a wanna be rocker 
               G             C 
She was more into Merle 
G                    D                 G 
Couldn't see it just wouldn't work 
                     Em              C                  G                    C 
And now I'm double fisting long necks  grapefruit and Stoli 
G                   D      G 
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 big 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 
then I polished off my 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
