Said The Whale - Jesse, AR lyrics

Jesse came from Arkansas Had a house and sold it off Been a husband for too long Never been a lover, though So he headed up to Edmonton He changed his name and found some friends Got a couple shekels from a brother who supported him Didn't take a couple months Till Jesse finally met someone A simple girl from Edmonton Thought that they could be something So he brought her back to Little Rock And showed her off to everyone Found a house and found a job Got a ring to get it done Restless eyes they never sleep for too long they're always a couple steps ahead Jesse disappeared again Didn't go to Edmonton Didn't talk to any friends Like many others who are Trying to be someone else Instead of who they really are Jesse came from Arkansas Had a house and sold it off Been a husband for too long Never been a lucky one
