Justin Tubb - Me and Jackie Lived It Up lyrics

rate me

(Jack Butler)

La dadada, la dadada

Well, Jackie's mama said that she would go to town

But her mama didn't know I'd be there too

And she didn't know that far away world where we were bound

And the color of our love would turn to deep shades of blue.

Well, that greyhound took us to a place we never thought we'd make

Where our crayoned colored green start coming through

Oh, no dreams just weren't meant to come through while you're away

So Jackie fell asleep in the early morning dew.

Me and Jackie lived it up la dada do dey

But she didn't live to live it down

And neither would I if it's true what they say

'Cause her daddy says he's just too mean for me to be well

And he's gonna get me just as sure as la dadada.

Just as sure as heaven's up and hell is down

Somewhere in between we tried to live

But there just ain't no hope for me with Jackie not around

There's nothing left to receive and even less to give.

Me and Jackie lived it up la dada do dey

But she didn't live to live it down

And neither would I if it's true what they say

'Cause her daddy says he's just too mean for me to be well

And he's gonna get me just as sure as la dadada.

And he's gonna get me just as sure as la dadada...
