Jessie Lee had the sweetest lips, sweet cherry red, you can't resist
A promise of love that'll make you want to cry
She could turn your head, twist your mind, break your heart, leave you blind
A fool for love watching out for a secret sign
Everyone loved the princess of this town
All the saints and sinners they all gathered round
Time moves on and true love can't be bound
It's locked to the lonesome rhythm of a mournful sound
Time moves on, takes it's toll, hair of grey that once was gold
Silken skin broken down by the winds of time
The price is paid as the princess fades, empty bottles, her mind's ablaze
The queen of bar street lost in drunken haze
Jessie Lee always opened all the doors
Searching for that love that promised more
Flying high, she could never get enough
Late night parties, getting wasted, hanging tough
Jessie Lee danced with dreamers and with fools
And the wild wolves who were breaking all the rules
Laughing, running wild and running free
Just a reckless child for all the world to see
Now Jessie Lee lies alone at night, body's aching and her mind's on fire
Memories fading fast of days gone by
Golden days , neon nights, torchlight love, secret sights
Drifting through her mind in the deep black night
All day long she sits alone staring at the telephone
No one calls, good time friends are gone
Her story's told, it's written in her song
The end is coming, she know's it won't be long
Jessie Lee danced with dreamers and with fools
And the wild wolves who were breaking all the rules
A reckless child for all the world to see
But I know she won't be coming back to me
I know she won't be coming back to me
