From a phone
booth in Vegas
Jessie calls at five A M
to tell me how she's tired
of all of them
She says, baby
I've been thinking
'bout 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
'bout 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
Oh, Jessie
how do you always seem
to know just when to call
She says
get your stuff together
Bring Moses
and drive real fast
And I listen to her promise
I swear to God this time
it's gonna last...
Jessie
paint your pictures
'bout 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
Oh, Jessie
you can always sell
any dream to me
I'll love you in the sunshine
lay you down
in the warm white sand
And who knows
maybe this time
things'll turn out just the way
you planned...
Jessie
paint your pictures
'bout 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
