That's Just Jessie
Kevin Denny
Sometimes in the morning,
My coffee gets ice cold
And I'll burn up three cigarettes,
'Fore I have my first smoke
Missed my exit on the way to work
Every now and then.
I always blame it on the traffic
When they ask me where I've been.
And in a crowded elevator,
I'll start humming that ol' song.
There's no way of knowin'
When that urge will come along.
I've been stuck in some meeting,
Look down at my legal pad.
I see hearts and flowers and butterflies,
And I can't help but laugh.
That's just a dirt road, summer '89.
That's just a back seat,
And some muscidime wine.
That's just auburn hair
Brushing cross my cheek.
And those "kiss me" green eyes
Smilin' back at me.
That's just my mind,
Jumpin' fences once again.
But, I'll be fine,
Once I get it rowed back in.
I know sometimes I may act a little crazy
But that's just Jessie.
Sometimes in the evening,
I hear barefeet in the hall,
And I see your slender silhouette,
Dance across the wall.
Then I catch the sent of jasmine perfume
In the wind,
And I know it's her sweet memory
Coming back again.
That's just a dirt road, summer '89.
That's just a back seat,
And some muscidime wine.
That's just auburn hair
Brushing cross my cheek.
And those "kiss me" green eyes
Smilin' back at me.
That's just my mind,
Jumpin' fences once again.
But, I'll be fine
Once I get it rowed back in.
I know sometimes I may act a little crazy
But that's just Jessie.
In a white cotton dress, that's just a wildfire
That I ain't put out yet.
That's just auburn hair
Brushing cross my cheek.
And those "kiss me"
Green eyes smilin' back at me.
That's just my mind, jumpin' fences once again.
But, I'll be fine
Once I get it rowed back in.
I know sometimes I may act a little crazy
But that's just Jessie.
