Karaoké Jessie Joshua Kadison

From a phone booth in Vegas

Jessie calls at five A.M. to tell me how she's tired of all of them

She says

Baby I've been thinkin' about a trailer by the sea

We could go to Mexico

You, the cat and me

We'll drink tequila and look for seashells

Now doesn't that sound sweet

Oh 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

Oh Jessie you can always sell any dream to me

Oh Jessie you can always sell any dream to me

She asked 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 said

Get your stuff together

Bring Moses and drive real fast

And I listened 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

Oh Jessie you can always sell any dream to me

Oh Jessie you can always sell any dream to me

Jessie you can always sell any dream to me

I'll 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

Oh Jessie you can always sell any dream to me

Oh Jessie you can always sell any dream to me
