Jacki (Complicated Man album) |
LyricsJACKIAll strung out in angel town, sleepin' on the beach Head pounding from a hard night of booze Jacki 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 Jacki'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 Jacki 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 Jacki. . . (hold my Jacki) I wanna love my Jacki. . . (love my Jacki) Just to be with my Jacki Brown |
