Jerry took his bike out the back gate and onto the lane
He's heading away 'till some sunny day
And he's going to leave that phone behind...
Jenny is a poor girl working for a man,
How to get by, trying to believe in things you don't know
Is going to waste your time...
Oh you gotta give them hope, give them time
They living between the lines...
Oh you say, give them hope, give them time
It's something they will find, someday...
Jerry took a fine time walking on the sand,
A day in the sun, had it begun, Jerry don't know
Could he believe in anything?
Jenny saw a girl on a bus who spoke of life on the town
Jenny sat down and all came around,
Took a line and said I like your style...
Oh you gotta give them hope, give them time
They living between the lines, what you want to do?
What you say, don't waste another day
It's something you want to do for you, and me...
Jerry's alive and kicking, on the phone
He'll never back down, he'll never give up on things he believes
And he'll never give in to anything...
Jenny gets high on the street and tells a tale of a soul
Shout it out loud, Jenny don't go
Maybe you'll be back someday...
You gotta give them hope, give them time
They living between the lines
What you say... wounded love is what you find
It's coming back for you...
What do you want to do...
How do you find a simple piece of mind,
Then I'm coming back for you...
What you say, to do it all, to do it fine
You gotta read between the lines...
With me...
Everything's going to turn out fine tonight,
Everything's going to turn out fine...
