Jessie
(Joshua Kadison)

From a phone booth in Vegas, Jessie calls at 5 a.m.
to tell me how she's tired of all of them
she says baby, I've been thinking about a trailer by the sea
we could go to Mexico; you, the cat and me
we'll drink tequila and look for sea shells
now, doesn't that sound sweet?
Oh, Jessie, you always do this every time I get back on my feet

Jessie, paint your pictures about 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

She asks 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 listen to her promise, I swear to God this time it's gonna last

I'll love you in the sunshine, lay you down in the warm white sand
and who knows, maybe this time things will turn out just the way you planned
