Lyrics

(Guitar solo intro)

Ooh-hoo, jackie blue

Lives her life from inside of a room

Hides that smile when she's wearin' a frown

Ooh jackie, you're not so down

You like your life in a free-form style

You'll take an inch but you'd love a mile

There never seems to be quite enough

Floating around to fill your lovin' cup

Ooh-hoo, jackie blue

What's a game, girl, if you never lose

Ask a winner and you'll prob'bly find

Ooh jackie, they've lost at sometime

Don't try to tell me that you're not aware

Of what you're doing and that you don't care

You say it's easy, just a nat'ral thing

Like playing music but you never sing

Ooh-hoo, jackie blue

Making wishes that never come true

Going places where you've never been

Ooh jackie, you're going again

(Guitar solo)

Ooh-hoo, jackie blue

Likes a dream that can never come true

Making love is like siftin' through sand

Ooh jackie, it slips through your hand

Ev'ry day, in your indigo eyes

I watch the sun set but I don't see it rise

Moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine

You'd take the world but you won't take the time

Ooh-hoo, jackie blue

Lives her life from inside of a room

Makes you think that her life is a drag

Ooh jackie, what fun you have had

Ooh jackie, ooh jackie

Ooh jackie, ooh jackie

Hey, hey, hey, hey

(Guitar solo)
