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
