Just Jessie Songtext
"That's Just Jessie" by Kevin Denny,on Lyric Street Records
VERSE
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.
CHORUS
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.
VERSE
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.
REPEAT CHORUS
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
