From a phone booth in Vegas, Jessie calls at 5 A.M.
to tell me how she's tired of all of them.
She says, "Baby, I been thinking 'bout 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 'bout 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 (2×).

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 your stuff 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 'bout 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 (2×).

I'll love you in the sunshine
Lay you down in the warm white sand
And who knows
Maybe this time things'll turn out
Just the way you planned.

Jessie paint your pictures 'bout 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 (2×).
