From a phone booth in Vegas
Jessie calls at five am
To tell me how she's tired
of all of them
She says,
baby I've been thinking
about a trailer by the sea
We could go to Mexico,
you, the cat and me
We'll drink tequila
and look for sea shells
Now doesn't
that sound sweet
Jessie, you always
do this
Every time
I get back on my feet
Jessie, paint your pictures
about how it's gonna be
By now I should know better
your dreams are never free
But tell me all about
our little trailer by the sea
Jessie, you can always sell
any dream to me
Jessie, you can always sell
any dream to me
She asks me how
the cat's been
I say Moses, he's just fine
But he used to think
about you, all the time
We finally took your pictures
down off the wall
Jessie, how do
you always seem
to know just when to call?
She says,
get yourself together
Bring Moses
and drive real fast
And I listen to her promise
I swear to God
this time it's gonna last
Jessie, paint your pictures
about how it's gonna be
By now I should know better
Your dreams are never free
But tell me all about our little
trailer by the sea
Jessie, you can always sell
any dream to me
Jessie, you can always sell
any dream to me
Jessie, you can always sell
any dream to me
I love you in the sunshine
Lay you down
in the warm white sand
And who knows
maybe this time
Things will turn out
just the way you planned
Jessie, paint your pictures
about how it's gonna be
By now I should know better
Your dreams are never free
But tell me all about our little
trailer by the sea
Jessie, you can always sell
any dream to me
Jessie, you can always
sell any dream to me
