Jackie
She had beauty on her side
And she never missed a show
A little hard to handle
Always running off with the flow
He was rough around the edges
Problems always knocking at his door
So he kept up with those habits
That kept him up wanting more and more
Well they both were chasing dragons
Both wanted to fly
Wouldn't listen to reason or naggin'
But she didn't have to die
Jackie, buh-bye
Jackie, buh-bye
Yeah
Well I know she's forever dancin'
Seems he's forever getting high
She cared more about romanticism
And he cared more about the lie
But the party's captivating
And it's so hard to stay out of style
Yeah, she did the best she could now
And gave it hell for awhile
Well the girl wanted to make people happy, at least she just wanted to try
And now she's up there laughing way beyond that sky
Jackie, buh-bye
Jackie, buh-bye
Ooh, yeah
Well remember when she'd call you up
Just tryna catch a ride
Say what part-a town you going to
She'd reply the other side
See her comin' from miles away, with a smile so big and wide
But then she took that trip and they went down to China white
Well the time has since been passin'
Only think about her here and there
But her words to my mind are fastened
Live your life without a care
She was young and she was foolish
But aren't we all at her age
Think you can do better, well then do it
Don't give yourself away
Well we miss you down here, honey
Brings a tear to my eye
Send me a postcard where it's sunny
Up in paradise
Jackie, buh-bye
Jackie, buh-bye
Yeah
Buh-bye, buh-bye, buh-bye
Buh-bye, buh-bye, buh-bye, buh-bye
Jackie
Buh-bue, buh-bye, buh-bye, buh-bye, buh-bye, buh-bye, buh-bye
Jackie, buh-bye
And she never missed a show
A little hard to handle
Always running off with the flow
He was rough around the edges
Problems always knocking at his door
So he kept up with those habits
That kept him up wanting more and more

Both wanted to fly
