Chris Knight - Jack Loved Jesse lyrics

Red eyed and wasted rollin' into Memphis Jack said to Jesse I don't think I can handle this The slammin' in his ears was his own heartbeat A .38 tucked under the seat Jessie said Jack this ain't no foolin' around If we screw up now they're gonna take us down Chorus Jack loved Jesse like a runaway train He knew she was crazy but he loved her just the same It felt like dancin' on the edge of a knife Jack loved Jesse for the rest of his life Trunk full of Menifee county homegrown Ten thousand dollars if they bring it on home But Jess shot it to hell back in Jackson town The Tennessee trooper on the ground Jesse said if we could make Arkansas We got us a chance to outrun the law Chorus Jack loved Jesse like a runaway train He knew she was crazy but he loved her just the same It felt like dancin' on the edge of a knife Jack loved Jesse for the rest of his life Memphis rolled by like a dream in the night At the Mississippi bridge they could see daylight Two unmarked cars fallin' in behind Jesse said Jack it's the end of the line Matt black Fords blockin' all four lanes If we're goin' down we're goin' down in flames Chorus Jack loved Jesse like a runaway train He knew she was crazy but he loved her just the same It felt like dancin' on the edge of a knife Jack loved Jesse for the rest of his life Jack loved Jesse for the rest of his life Jack loved Jesse Jack loved Jesse
