Jesse, AR

Jesse came from Arkansas

Had a house and sold it off

Been a husband for too long

Never been a lover though

So he headed up to Edmonton

He changed his name and found some friends

Got a couple shekels from

A brother who supported him

Didn't take a couple months

Till Jesse finally met someone

A simple girl from Edmonton

Thought that they could be something

So he brought her back to Little Rock

And showed her off to everyone

Found a house and found a job

Got a ring to get it done

Restless eyes they never sleep for

Too long they're always a couple steps ahead

Restless eyes they never sleep for

Too long they're always a couple steps ahead

Restless eyes they never sleep for

Too long they're always a couple steps ahead

Restless eyes they never sleep for

Too long they're always a couple steps ahead

They never sleep for long

Didn't take a couple months

Till Jesse finally met someone

A simple girl from Edmonton

Thought that they could be something

So he brought her back to Little Rock

And showed her off to everyone

Found a house and found a job

Got a ring to get it done

Restless eyes they never sleep for too long

They're always a couple steps ahead

Restless eyes they never sleep for too long

They're always a couple steps ahead

Restless eyes they never sleep for too long

They're always a couple steps ahead

Restless eyes they never sleep for too long

They're always a couple steps ahead

They never sleep for too long

Jesse disappeared again

Didn't go to Edmonton

Didn't talk to any friends

Like many others who are

Trying to be someone else

Instead of who they really are

Jesse came from Arkansas

Had a house and sold it off

Been a husband for too long

Never been a lucky one
