The Front Desk - Hey Jackie
★ Verse 1 ★
Jackie’s the type of girl to get in fights with her brothers
And say that’s why she’s got that black eye
Jackie was the type of kid to knock an ashtray off the table
That’s how she came by those cigarette burns on her thighs
Jackie’s got her mom at home and an aunt in Tennessee
And a cousin in Missouri that she never gets to see
I ran into Jackie and said: Are things going well?
She said, “well I think I’m going so farewell”
Before she turned away I said
★ Chorus ★
Hеy Jackie! When you get to California, call mе up and
Tell me what your life is like, are the city lights so bright?
Hey Jackie, if you go to the beach at night
Don’t forget to hold on tight. Stay close to shore
I might be a bore, but I don’t know what I’ll do
If we drift any further than we have before
You may not be lost at sea but you’ll be lost to me
★ Verse 2 ★
The posters in her bedroom showed more than hunky teens
But the whole and happy family of the monster fighting team
The letters on her table are from her cousin in Missouri
They say “I’ll meet you in Ventura” and “I’ll be there in a hurry”
Tucked behind her dresser is a tiny vial of sand
A comforting reminder there’s a warm inviting land
When I ran into Jackie she had that bottle in her hand
And I knew she meant to find where it was canned
Before I walked away I said
★ Chorus ★
Hey Jackie! When you get to California, call me up and
Tell me what your life is like, are the city lights so bright?
Hey Jackie, if you go to the beach at night
Don’t forget to hold on tight. Stay close to shore
I might be a bore, but I don’t know what I’ll do
If we drift any further than we have before
You may not be lost at sea but you’ll be lost to me
★ Bridge ★
I wish Jackie would change her plans and stay right here with me
We could have a life of love and domesticity
But I could never give her a life full of adventure
So I know there’ll be no Jackie and me
★ Chorus ★
Hey Jackie! When you get to California, call me up and
Tell me what your life is like, are the city lights so bright?
Hey Jackie, if you go to the beach at night
Don’t forget to hold on tight. Stay close to shore
I might be a bore, but I don’t know what I’ll do
If we drift any further than we have before
You may not be lost at sea but you’ll be lost to me
★ Outro ★
Hey Jackie! Hey Jackie! Hey Jackie! Hey Jackie!
