Jessie

Lyrics

[Verse 1] From a phone booth in Vegas Jessie calls at five am To tell me how she's tired of all of them She says, "Baby, I've been thinking 'bout 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?" Oh, Jessie, you always do this every time I get back on my feet [Chorus] Jessie paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be By now I should know better, your dreams are never free But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea; Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me Oh, Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me [Verse 2] She asked 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 Jessie, how do you always seem to know just when to call? She says, "Get your stuff together, bring Mose and drive real fast" And I listened to her promise, "I swear to God, this time it's gonna last" [Chorus] Jessie paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be By now I should know better, your dreams are never free But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea; Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me Oh, Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me [Post-Chorus] Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me [Bridge] I'll love you in the sunshine, lay you down in the warm, white sand And who knows, maybe this time things'll turn out just the way you planned [Chorus] Jessie, paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be By now I should know better, your dreams are never free But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea; Oh Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me Oh Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me
