The ballad of Jean and me lyrics

Jean and me, were as close as could be

But her folks didn't like me at all

She wanted me so, but they couldn't know

She couldn't even give me a call.

Well I tried, I tried, I tried so hard.

You'd better run, 'cause you're much too young

To know if my love is real

She takes me hand, whispers in my ear

"Guess you don't know how I feel".

Well, I tried, I tried, I tried so hard

I tried, I tried, I tried so hard.

Now see, just let her go

Your little girl, grew up such a short time ago

See what you've done, 'cause now she's gone

A wasted life on the run.

Then came the day, that fateful day

A man walked through the wrong door

Said "Son, you're never gonna see that girl

Don't come 'round here no more".

She gunned him down, with three mag-rounds

And Oh My God, she was crazed

I grabbed up Jean, gotta leave this town

And now we've been driving for days.

Well, I tried, I tried, I tried so hard

I tried, I tried, I tried so hard.

Now see, just let her go

Your little girl, grew up such a short time ago

See what you've done, 'cause now she's gone

A wasted life on the run.
