"For Little Jessie" lyrics - 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]
