Jesse's Name

(专辑： Black And White Label - 2006)

In a tattoo shop at the end of Main
Two lovers set out with no restraint
He swore she was the one from day one
She swore he made her complete
In a tattoo shop at the end of Main
Above his heart they carved Jesse's name

The years flew by so fast underneath their feet
Bills to pay just trying to make ends meet
A buddy asked him why he chose the road that he was on
Asked him how he kept form going insane
And in a little bar at the end of Main
He pulled off his shirt and he showed 'em Jesse's name

'Til late one night came a phone call
That said, "You gotta come home from work
'Cause the baby says it's time for me to go
And I know it's a little early and I thought I could wait
But baby I can't stand the pain"
And in a hospital room at the corner of 5th and Main
They gave their little miracle Jesse's name

Seventy years, gray haired and still in love
Holding' hands like they were still 18
They both knew Jesse's time was growing short
Somehow they both chose not to believe
And in a hospital room at the corner of 5th and Main
Oh he cried the last time Jesse said his name

And in a field lined with daisies
They laid her in the ground
As their daughter held the man that they both loved
And as the preacher said his words
And the choir began to sing
Oh he felt the pain
Underneath Jesse's name
Underneath Jesse's name

In a tattoo shop at the end of Main
He remembers the day they carved Jesse's name
