Paul D Jones - The Ballad of Joel & Trixie Lyrics

Joel's at the bar with a drink in his hand
He looks pretty cool, he plays in a band
He's fallen in love with his number one fan
Though she's in the arms of another man
Trixie, she falls for the wrong kind of guy
One loser moves on, another comes by
The man of her dreams is in front of her eyes
How long will it take her to realise?

I'm heading for sweet Alabama says Joel
You can come too, we can make it our home
Sit on the porch making music all day
If you jump on my flight to the US of A
Trixie leans forward as she sips on her wine
It sounds paradise but I'll have to decline
My boyfriend has pledged to buy me a ring
He's promised me this time it's the real thing

Fifteen years later and Trixie's up north
A couple of kids and she's long since divorced
She's driving back home with one thing on her mind
To meet up with Joel and make up for lost time
But there's no sign of Joel in the bar where they met
He left for the States in his own private jet
And Joel still plays in a rock'n'roll band
And he often thinks of his number one fan
