Rob Kirwan - Jackie And Wilson lyrics

[Verse 1] So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight So deep in this swill with the most familiar of swine For reasons wretched and divine [Verse 2] She blows out of nowhere, Roman candle of the wild Laughing her way through my feeble disguise No other version of me I would rather be tonight Lord, she found me just in time [Pre-Chorus 1] Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done I need to be youthfully felt, cause God I never felt young [Chorus] She's gonna save me, call me baby Run her hands through my hair She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily Better yet she wouldn't care We'll steal a Lexus, be detectives Ride 'round picking up clues We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson Raise 'em on rhythm and blues [Verse 3] Lord it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside Sit back and watch the world go by [Pre-Chorus 2] Happy to lie back, watch it burn and rust We tried the world, good God it wasn't for us [Chorus] She's gonna save me, call me baby Run her hands through my hair She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily Better yet she wouldn't care We'll steal a Lexus, be detectives Ride 'round picking up clues We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson Raise 'em on rhythm and blues [Bridge: Instrumental] [Verse 4] Cut clean from the dream that night, let my mind reset Looking up from a cigarette, she's already left Start digging up the yard for what's left of me and our little vignette For whatever poor soul is coming next [Chorus] She's gonna save me, call me baby Run her hands through my hair She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily Better yet she wouldn't care We'll steal a Lexus, be detectives Ride 'round picking up clues We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson Raise 'em on rhythm and blues
