Chely Wright - If I Were Jackie (Home Studio Demo) Lyrics
If I had married J. F. K.I would have lost my mind'Cause everybody seemed to knowHow he pent his leisure timeWell, I guess that things were different thenA wife just turned her headBut do you think she criedWhen the President didn't make it home to bedHow did she surviveThat kind of life.If I were JackieI'd got in one of those black sudansAnd left the secret service in the dustIf I were JackieI'd of told Marylin you can keep that man'Cause he's gonna cheat on you like he cheated on us.She kept on facing forward and she held her head up highEven when she smelled a strange perfumeShe stood there by his sideShe'd smile and she would waveLike she had grown accustomed toThe picture of perfection like a debutante would doDid she ever ask himWhere the hell have you been?If I were JackieI'd got in one of those black sudansAnd left the secret service in the dustIf I were JackieI'd of told Marylin you can keep that man'Cause he's gonna cheat on you like he cheated on us.Spoken:Well, I guess its easy to sit here today and say what I woulddo. Yeah, but we'll probably never know if it was herweakness or or strength that covered up the truth.If I were JackieI'd got in one of those black sudansAnd left the secret service in the dustIf I were JackieI'd of told Marylin you can keep that man'Cause he's gonna cheat on you like he cheated on us.If I were JackieI'd got in one of those black sudansAnd left the secret service in the dust...
