Jesse
- by Lee Simpson

verse 1:
The world I see is a world of my own my make
first chance I get, the road I'll take
straight to the bar where I will fill my leg
tell Mrs. Henry to roll out another keg
You know those cigarettes they will take their toll
I ain't had one in a week so pack another bowl
'cause I gotta have something so I will say my prairs
to my sweet Jesus, though he tells me to beware

chorus:
All the things we held so close will fade and be replaced
All the things were all according to taste
all the spirits came to life when Jesse cracked the bottle
it's just another version of what's already real

verse 2:
So I guess I missed my trip back to heaven's gate
I hope they come back soon before it's too late
one seat is left wide open for you to take
please take my ticket and I'll see you very soon
one seat is left wide open for you to take
please take my ticket and I'll see you very soon
