For Little Jessie Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Jerry Jeff Walker 

Sometimes out here on this road 

Too late to call I see the telephone 

My mind's a line running straight for home 

And I can see her lying soft and warm 

Chorus: 

She knows her daddy sings 

We know all that the money brings 

She thinks our world must be everything 

Does she know, she's the precious thing 

You and I now we've had our ups and downs 

Drove our love nearly out of bounds 

Can't go back to a lot of towns 

We were doing what was going round 

Chorus 

Two adults lost in a world alone 

Take a little love and make a happy home 

The little hands brush your wavy hair 

And say goodbye and leave you standing there 

Chorus
