John Mellencamp - Jackie Brown Lyrics
Is this your life, jackie brown?Poorly educated and forced to live on the poor side of town.Is this your daughter, jackie brown?This pretty little girlIn the worn out clothesThat have been hand-me down.Is this your wife, jackie brown?With sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells so you dont see her frown.Is this your family, jackie brown?Dream of vacationing on a mountain streamAnd giving the world more than it gave you.What ugly truths freedom bringsAnd it hasnt been very kind to you.Is this your life, jackie brown?Is this your meal, jackie brown?Barely enough, Ive seen people throw away more than this out.Is this your home, jackie brown?This three room shackWith no running waterAnd the bathroom out back.Is this your grave, jackie brown?This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man tookHimself out.Is this your dream, jackie brown?Going nowhere and nowhere fastWe shame ourselves to watch people like this live.But who gives a damn about jackie brown?Just another lazy man who couldnt take what was his.One helluva life jackie brown.Forevermore, jackie brownAmen and amen - jackie brown?
