Jackie's daddy drove a long-haul, black gravel, down hard roads Met his momma at a truck stop when turning tricks had come to blows Jackie never really knew that man, but his temper was all the same Never had another damn thing but his momma and her last name Alright Screen doors on a double-wide at the end of Anita Street Jackie's momma got sick that summer and the bills got hard to beat One night, after supper time, she put Jackie down to bed Sang him one last lullaby, put a bullet in her head Yeah, she sang My blue Jackie started working pipeline, and he failed up out of school Fell in love with the white line and a girl from Vanderpool Started running with the wrong crowd, the kind Jackie always liked Before he ever seen it coming his way, he was running for his life Paid cash for a motel, then he turned out all the lights Heard a knock on the front door, yeah, he knew it didn't feel right Jackie lit up a cigarette, but he didn't make a sound Put a bullet through the drywall, and when the body hit the ground Yeah, he sang Yeah, he sang Letras de cancionesYeah, he sang My blue Late winter after sundown, I seen Jackie at my door Needed money and an alibi, couldn't stay here anymore Said he never should've shot that man, but his wife came on to me You can't hide in small town with blood on your sleeve Jackie didn't wanna run away, but he held onto his mind He had never even been away from the limestone county lights Took a greyhound running west with an apple in his sack Crying, looking out the windowpane, he was never comin' back He sang Yeah, he sang Yeah, he sang My blue Yeah, he sang Yeah, he sang Yeah, he sang My blue From Letras Mania
