Sam Loves Joann

Joann was in an awkward position
 Very unmarried and starting to show
 Joann had wanted to be a beautician
 She thought it looked like a good time to go
 Got on a Greyhound to ride up to Macon
 No one in New Brunswick would quite understand
 She wouldn't look at the side of the highway

 Joann, Joann, how could you leave your man?
 I'm yours forever in big old blue letters

 Sam's on his way to the state penitentiary
 He doesn't know he's a father to be
 Sam only wanted to borrow a Chevy
 But the state locked him up and they threw out the key
 Sam hoped to take her away to get married
 But he never asked her, so much for big plans
 Now the prison bus takes him on down that same highway

 Funny how things from the heat of the moment
 Like making a baby or getting tattooed
 Last a lot longer than ever expected
 Feelings might fade but the facts never do
 It's all the same in the small towns and big towns
 The names might change but across this great land
 Just take a ride along any old highway
