Jeff's Song Lyrics

ONE CAN DREAM
ONE CAN FALL
ONE CAN HAVE EVERYTHING
ONE CAN HAVE NOTHING
NOTHIN' AT ALL
ONE CAN HAVE LOVE
WHILE ALL THE OTHER
KNOWS IS PAIN
ONE SEES THE SUN SHININ' WHILE THE OTHER
GETS DRENCHED IN HAIL AND RAIN

THE STORM CAN BE LONG AND HARD
IT CAN STEAL YOUR SOUL AND EVEN
YOUR HEART
IT MIGHT SEEM THAT ALL I EVER WANTED WAS
FORTUNE AND FAME
BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS IN THE
WIND I KEEP HEARIN' YOUR NAME
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE I CAN LOVE OUT THERE
YOU'RE MY MARY JANE

======================

TWO NEWLYWEDS KSSIN IN THE BACK
OF A STRETCHED LIMOSUINE
THEY HAD JUST TIED THE KNOT
LIVIN' THE AMERICAN DREAM
AS I LOOKED IN THAT REAR VIEW
MIRROR IT OCCURRED TO ME

IF I HAD ONLY DONE THINGS RIGHT
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ME
YEAH BUT THAT TIME HAS GONE BY
NOW AND THE PAST IS HISTORY

I'D PUT DOWN THIS GUITAR IN
A HEARTBEAT
I'D GIVE UP THIS BRIGHT SPOTLIGHT
IF ONLY I COULD HAVE YOU IN MY ARMS
BY MY BED JUST ONE MORE NIGHT

EVER SINCE YOU LEFT
I'VE BEEN PLAYIN' THIS NASHVILLE GAME
BUT SINCE THAT NIGHT YOU WALKD OUT ON ME
MUSIC ROW HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME

I THOUGHT OF GIVIN' IT ALL UP
WATCHIN MY CAREER GO UP IN FLAMES
BUT I KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU WOULD WANT
SO THAT'S WHY I STILL PLAY

THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME GOIN
IS IN EACH SONG I HEAR YOUR NAME
I KEEP DREAMIN' OF THAT DAY WE'LL
MEET AGAIN
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE I CAN EVER
TRULY LOVE
YOU'RE MY MARY JANE

_--------------

ITS BEEN TWENTY YEARS SINCE YOU
LEFT ME
AND NOTHING HAS BEEN THE SAME
I KEEP PLAYIN MY GUITAR
BUT IN EVERY NOTE
I ALWAYS HEAR YOUR NAME

IT WAS A COLD JANUARY DAY
IN AN AIRPORT AT JFK
I WAS READY TO TAKE A FLIGHT OUT
TO A SHOW IN ALBEQUERQUE AND THEN
ONTO SANTA FE
BUT THEN THAT VOICE CAME ON THE SPEAKER
OUT OF THE AIRPORT PA
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I HEARD THAT YOUNG
MAN CALLIN' OUT YOUR NAME

I LOOKED AROUND TRIED TO PICTURE
WHAT YOU'D LOOK LIKE TODAY
THEN I SAW YOU AT THE COUNTER
YOUR BLONDE HAIR NOW TURNING GREY

I THOUGHT ABOUT GOIN' OVER
THERE BUT I WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
