She was eighteen, had a California dream
|
Gettin' out was just a matter of time
|
He just turned twenty
|
Makin' decent money
|
Drivin' nails into railroad ties
|
|
Boy meets girl, girl's plans changed
|
That summer into a hell of a fall
|
Nah, they didn't have it all together
|
But together they had it all
|
They had it all
|
|
Love did what it does
|
Wasn't even six months
|
Ain't ever leavin' shinin' on her left hand
|
But that worse or for better
|
Forever together
|
Started runnin' out of sand
|
|
He was gone on the road
|
She was home all alone
|
That lonely took a toll on her heart
|
Came home early one night
|
To surprise her, to find her
|
Lost in someone else's arms
|
|
This is the story of Jack and Jill
|
How their whole world came tumblin' down
|
Heartbreak kills, Jill got on the pills
|
And Jack couldn't get off that Crown
|
They found their peace
|
Somewhere underneath
|
The roots of a Sycamore tree
|
Yeah, Jack and Jill went downhill
|
And ended up on one in Tennessee
|
In Tennessee
|
|
Everybody knows that he couldn't let go
|
Of that bottle or what she'd done
|
He took his last sip, yeah, he finally quit
|
That morning he didn't wake up
|
She took the news
|
With the whites and the blues
|
Didn't leave a note, there was no need
|
The preacher they used when they said "I do"
|
Is reading out of Psalm 23
|
23
|
|
This is the story of Jack and Jill
|
How their whole world came tumblin' down
|
Heartbreak kills, Jill got on the pills
|
And Jack couldn't get off that Crown
|
They found their peace
|
Somewhere underneath
|
The roots of a Sycamore tree
|
Yeah, Jack and Jill went downhill
|
And ended up on one in Tennessee
|
In Tennessee
|
In Tennessee
