Jackie

Jackie came to town
Looking for a job, a paycheck and a pension
Bag on his back, he carried his clothes at his best intention
Something brought him here
Something made him walk in a southern direction
Yeah, I guess it's fair to say, Jacky and I had a connection

Oh, Jackie, come here
Oh, Jackie, don't you look that way
Oh, Jackie, we're apart and my heart, should've left with you that day

Jackie got a job
Working too much and making too little
Wore a blue-collar suit, black and blue eyes that burned in the middle
(Black and blue eyes)
Jackie started fires
Sat and watched as the wood that I brought him turned brittle
(Sat and watched as the wood turned old)
Jackie crossed every wire, he was my answer, I was his riddle

Oh, Jackie you're here
Oh, Jackie, you're gone away
Oh, Jackie, we're apart and my heart, should've left with you that day

Jackie left town
Left his job, and left me alone
Bag on his back to another woman (and another home)
Jackie, now I sit
Tearing the flesh from my bones
(Sit, tear the flesh from my bones)
Jacky, come and bury me in this grave that I had to dig on my own

Oh, Jackie, come back
Oh, Jackie, don't you go away
I'm lonely, Jacky, I'm holding my hands together so I can pray

Oh, Jackie, don't go
Oh, Jackie, don't you fade away
Oh, Jackie, we're a part and my heart, should've left with you
Left with you, left with you
Left with you, left with you, left with you
