Jessie

From a phone booth in Vegas Jessie calls at 5 a.m.

To tell me how she's tired of all of them

She says, "Baby, I've been thinking about a trailer by the sea"

"We could go to Mexico you, the cat and me"

"We'll drink Tequila and look for seashells"

"Now doesn't that sound sweet?"

But Jessie, you always do this every time I get back on my feet

And Jessie, paint your pictures about how it's gonna be

But now I should know better your dreams are never free

But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea

And Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me

And Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me

She asks me how the cat's been, I say, "Moses? He's just fine"

"But he used to think about you all the time"

"We finally took your pictures down off the wall"

"And Jessie, how do you always seem to know just when to call?"

She says, "Get your stuff together, bring Moses and drive real fast"

And listen to her promise I'd swear to God this time it's gonna last

Oh, Jessie, paint your pictures about how it's gonna be

By now I should know better your dreams are never free

And tell me all about our little trailer by the sea

And Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me

And Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me

And Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me

Oh, I love you in the sunshine

I lay you down in the warm white sand

And who knows, maybe this time

Things will turn out just the way you planned

Oh, Jessie, paint your pictures about how it's gonna be

By now I should know better your dreams are never free

And tell me all about our little trailer by the sea

And Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me

And Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me
