well, I’ve been dreaming about a girl
most of my life
a real special girl
wanna make her my wife
been dreamin’ ’bout that world
most every night
but I ain’t a boy no more
I thought that love was long gone
it done showed me the door
each night I went on and on
watchin’ the whiskey pour
love was long gone
until I saw Jessie Ford
wavin’ from that old dance floor
it’s my last chance
I’m gonna take it
take off and land
go down right down and shake it
didn’t have me no plan
but I’m gonna fake it
me and Jessie
it’s lookin’ up
now, ol’ Jessie Ford was never a prize
but there was beer in her hair
and me in her wild eyes
brother, right there
that old dream come alive
a dream more real than before
well, she grabbed at my hand
she was lookin’ so good
I didn’t make no advance
she was sayin’ maybe I could
this was romance
right in the neighborhood
yeah, Jessie
we hookin’ up
well, we left that dive bar
walked under the moon
kissed under the stars
slow dancin’ without a tune
then I said, “girl, is it a little too soon..?”
she said, “boy, please just shut up”
it’s my last chance
I’m gonna take it
take off and land
go down right down and shake it
didn’t have me no plan
but I’m gonna fake it
me and Jessie
it’s lookin’ up
she grabbed at my hand
she was lookin’ so good
I didn’t make no advance
she was sayin’ maybe I could
this was romance
right in the neighborhood
yeah, Jesse
we hookin’ up
it’s my last chance
I’m gonna take it
take off and land
go down right down and shake it
didn’t have me no plan
but I’m gonna make it
me and Jessie
we hookin’ up
