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'
