Maybe music to come for this:
jackie remembers
goin back fifty years
still the lines and tides
haven’t dried a single tear
she moved here in 80
to find a new life
after raising four kids
dropping out as a wife
jackie found out today
just how much you can’t own
when you spent your last dollar
and you’re still all alone
She used to be a contender
She used to be young
She say’s “Oh dear God look
at what I have become.”
back in the day
I could stop any clock
with the wave of my hand
and just one single look
but jackie found out today
just how much you can’t own
when you’ve lost your last dollar
and your still alone
The wake laps down the seawall
and the moon turns the soul
still she dreams of the years
spent rocking the boat
Jackie’s flying out tonight
right thru the stars
and this old muddy ol’ town
won’t see jackie no more
but she found out today
just how much you can’t own
when you’ve spent your last dollar
and you’re still all alone
