Jackie don’t you walk the other way
Don’t you ever hear anything I say?
You know how much I want you here to stay
So Jackie don’t walk the other way
Alabaster skin beneath your sunburned hair
A pretty boy, diamond rings, and matching shoes
Pretending you don’t know, trying not to care
These things will never let you sing your blues
Jackie don’t you walk the other way
Don’t you ever hear anything I say?
You know how much I want you here to stay
So Jackie don’t walk the other way
So beautiful, so sweet, so everything-you’re-supposed-to-be
You’re in a crowded bar on another Friday night
That man up on the stage, singing songs to make you free
He’ll never see what Jackie longs to be
Jackie don’t you walk the other way
Don’t you ever hear anything I say?
You know how much I want you here to stay
So Jackie don’t walk the other way
In your room on Sunday night, listening to the rain
You can hardly stand the quiet in your head
Don’t listen to the silly boys who’ll take away your pain
They’ll never see the tears you’re gonna shed . . .
Over midnight moons, come falling in your room,
Seafloor dreams and coffee spoons, measuring your life
Into catchy tunes, the autumn days are coming soon,
Perfect lawns, matching kids, and being a wife
Jackie don’t you walk the other way
Don’t you ever hear anything I say?
You know how much I want you here to stay
So Jackie don’t walk the other way
