lyrics

Jacqueline listen I’ll be missing you everyday
And it won’t make it any easier or please you if I try and explain
You been spending every waking minute cryin cuz I’m going away Which is something I’d do anything available to alter by the way

Back when you were blooming there was room in my agenda to play And seeing you were comin meant the makings of a beautiful day
But speaking to eventual developments that lead me astray
I still regret em heavily and only blaming me by the way

By the way you could make any downpour
Dry up in an hour with just your innocent smile
And it was making me want more
Was like a hunger for power
But even when I wandered you were everything I needed
By the way...

Worrying’s a trait of any woman with a man running late
So I wasn’t much surprised by the sirens and the blue and red haze
I only wish they hadn’t found me just before I hid the rifle away
And got rid of that rounder who laughed and said he wasn’t afraid

But now and then circumstances call for making a change
For example when the rounder pulled a Smith & Wesson barrel from his waist
And before I even blinked my ears were ringing and the smoke was thick and grey
And the rounder fell dead in a patch of grass by the way

So goodbye baby ‘cause I got nothin more to say
Other than I love you and I appreciate the efforts you made
But according to authority I got a debt to god I must pay
When they pull the hood over I’ll be thinkin of you and the way

And the way you could make any downpour
Dry up in an hour with just your innocent smile
And it was making me want more
Was like a hunger for power
But even when I wandered you were everything I needed
even when I wandered you were everything I needed
even when I wandered you were everything I needed
By the way, by the way.
