Jerry Jeff Walker - For Little Jessie lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker

Sometimes out here on this road

Too late to call I see the telephone

My mind's a line running straight for home

And I can see her lying soft and warm

Chorus:

She knows her daddy sings

We know all that the money brings

She thinks our world must be everything

Does she know, she's the precious thing

You and I now we've had our ups and downs

Drove our love nearly out of bounds

Can't go back to a lot of towns

We were doing what was going round

Chorus

Two adults lost in a world alone

Take a little love and make a happy home

The little hands brush your wavy hair

And say goodbye and leave you standing there

Chorus
