Turn 21 - Jackie Faye Lyrics

(WHATEVER HAPPENED TO) JACKIE FAYE

Lady of the house
Used to tell me stories
As my old man
Lived the days of glory
One day he sent us away
And not a thing she could do
But to say it's okay

First she says
Son, you'll change the world
But now she says
That I'm getting too old
Lady, make up your mind
'Cause Jackie's waiting outside

And when the sun goes down in your eyes
Old folks say, that's no surprise

I ain't got half
Of what I can take
Time is short
And time won't wait
Time is slipping by
The hands of Jackie Faye

And now she's walking
Down my street
And she bangs on my window
And she says,
"I wrote this song
But I can't figure out it's key
And I named it
The Way It's Gonna Be"

And when the sun goes down in your eyes
Old folks say, that's no surprise
(And you know what she says)
I got a heart that's torn apart tonight
Wishing I could go back to the start

I bet you're feeling really proud
Now that you've turned tables
I bet you're feeling really proud
Now that Cain killed Abel

And she waves
And she waits
'Cause no one break us
Yet no one could save us

I bet you're feeling really proud
Now that you've turned tables
I bet you're feeling really proud
Now that Cain killed Abel

And I wish
That I was innocent
You know sometimes I wish
She was never late
