Jackie
Inspired by and paying homage to Kris Kristofferson's classic "Bobby McGee", this soulful piece tells the story of youthful love, reminiscing over having experienced that glimpse of heaven without realizing it at the time, summer romance, warm beers and toes in the sand at Venice Beach.

Lyrics
JACKIE BROWN
All strung out in angel town, sleepin’ on the beach
Head pounding from a hard night of booze
Jackie sipping beer gone warm, me humming summer songs
Just two crazy, fun loving fools
I was strumming hard a melody on a second-hand guitar
While Jackie’s scratchy voice sang us a song
Waves crashing on the beach, our toes buried in the sand
We made love that whole summer long
- (CHORUS) -
What they say is true
Once lost it can’t be found
And, youth is wasted on the young
If heaven on earth was just a day away
I would give you my tomorrows
Just to hold my Jacki Brown
We thumbed our way to Mexico looking for some fun
Two crazy kids flying high on love
We were dancing in the desert when she whispered in my ear
Same time, same place, next year
- (REPEAT CHORUS) -
- (BRIDGE) -
A year to the date, I drove across the border
Waiting patiently at our rendezvous
The hours became days and weighed upon my heart
That’s when I realized what Jackie always knew
- (CHORUS) -
What they say is true
Once lost it can’t be found
And, youth is wasted on the young
If heaven on earth was just a day away
I would give you all my tomorrows
Just to hold my Jackie...
(hold my Jackie)
I wanna love my Jackie...
(love my Jackie)
Just to be with my Jacki Brown
