The last time I saw Jesse
The moon was a-hangin' low
And she was standin' on the front porch
With her hair tied in a bow
The sweetest sound I've ever heard
It's just there when she talks
I'm gonna pack my bag and hit the drag
Even if I have to walk
The last time I saw Jesse
The moon was a-shinin' hot
And she was standin' in her house shoes
With her hair tied in a knot
The sweetest thing I've ever known
It's Jesse's southern drawl
I'm gonna grab my gear, get on out of here
Even if I have to crawl
I'm goin' soul searchin'
I'm lookin' for the love I knew
Soul searchin'
I don't care what I have to do
I'm gonna take my knocks and let it rock
I'm gonna pay my toll and let it roll
I'm goin' soul searchin'
The sweetest thing I've ever known
It's Jesse a-holdin' me
I'm gonna pack my sack and get on back
To where I wanna be
I'm goin' soul searchin'
I'm lookin' for the love I lost
Soul searchin'
I don't care how much it cost
I'm gonna take my knocks and let it rock
I'm gonna pay my toll and let it roll
I'm goin' soul searchin', I'm goin' soul searchin'
