That's just Jessie

That´s just Jessie

Kevin Denney





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.



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.



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
