NYSSA - Hey Jackie Lyrics

Hey Jackie

Start this story with a dead girl
That's what makes it just like the others

Hey jackie baby it's good to see ya it's been forever
What a hit what a hit what a hit
3AM by the side of the road
Who'd've thought it'd be you to pull up
Same old truck i forgot i forgot
I forgot ya but i guess i must've missed ya

You're asking where i been and where i went
What i done and who i met
Tellin' me who's asked and tellin' me who's wondered
The state of the hearts of my mom and ex-lovers
Who's shacking up with so-and-so's brother
Everyone got married everyone died
Everyone's pregnant my oh my
Everyone's pregnant my oh my

Jackie, do you think it hurts
To hear bout what i left behind?
I'll tell ya now it hurts less
Than it did before i left

Even kids lose sleep
Even kids lose sleep
Thinkin' bout shit like that X2
Un-huh

I worked in an orchard one lonely fall
Eating apples straight from the tree
Shiftless, shirtless under the night sky
I was always like this they just tried to stop me

The first of the month at the laundromat
Haven't found many nights better than that
Goin' in dirty comin' out clean
I'm feelin' righteous feelin' mean

I slept in a boxcar in thirty below
Jackie, i thought i'd die but i lit a fire
Most of my life summed up just so--
I thought i'd die but i lit a fire

Even kids lose sleep
Even kids lose sleep
Thinkin' bout shit like this X3
Even kids lose sleep

Ow

Jackie, i wanna dance with you tonight

Start your story with a dead girl
That's what makes it just like the others
That's the story they'll most believe
Go back and tell 'em what happens to
Girls like me
