lyrics
Lookin’ for so long he got hunger pains
But a good record could keep him full for days
Momma wouldn’t pay his rent
‘Til he got his head checked

Jackie had his first hit single on the radio
Took him 40 years but it still went gold
He was coastin’ twenty-five on a coattail ride, but no
Jackie didn’t burn out, he burned up his backup band

The neighbors’ sons all married well
Good jobs, great money living in subdivision hell
And all of this he knew
All of this he knew
All of this he knew but did it anyway

Jackie had his first hit single on the radio
Took him 40 years but it still went gold
He was playin 45’s when Nixon resigned, but no
Jackie didn’t burn out, he burned up his backup band

Got his BA in business charades and double speak
He used to be so happy
He traded lives for a suit tied in misery
It’s all a lie, he’s past his prime, watch out for Jackie
Watch out for Jackie

All of this he knew
All of this he knew
All of this he knew, but did it anyway

Go Jackie!
