Jackie Where You Been

I was playing at the railway station Guitar pickin' I could barely hear Got moved on by a couple of coppers Watched the rainfall on the River Wear I woke up hungry waiting for that crazy girl She knows I love her and the game she plays We were meant to jump a train by daybreak Said she'd be back in a couple of days Jackie where you been Cause I've been waiting Jackie where you been I'm still waiting If I could make it down to Leeds University There's a student who used to live next door Climb through his window and read his book on Socrates Maybe find myself, sleep on his floor All the while I'd be thinking about my future Hallucinating that my luck would change But you would show up with a suitcase full of lucre And wrap around me like Honey, keep the change Jackie where you been Cause I've been waiting Jackie where you been I'm still waiting Jackie where you been So that's the way I got to join the circus With honest John and a couple of friends Like Pinocchio, I got to see the bad boy show I wonder where the story ends
