Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors - Jamie Lyrics
Jamie lives in a warehouse on the corner of 14th and Green'Cooks after midnight, sleeping in twilight, doesn't remember his dreamsHe lives and looks like a poet, critiquing the world on a stringHis blood runs on cocaine and alcohol, he'll try anythingAnd he don't want anyone to knowAnd he don't want anyone to seeYou lie and cheat to break the beat, babyHeart on your sleeve, you wanna meet maybeSomeday you'll find what you're looking forSomeday you'll be begging at your own front doorYou're running, you're gunning for the gates of EdenHead full of knowledge and a heart for freedomSomeday Jamie you'll fall on your faceSomeday boy you're gonna break those chainsJamie's being ironic on a Sunday afternoonThe cynics and stoics boy, they're coming, coming after youHe talks about death and dying, gotta get out of this townMaybe go to South America and disappear in the crowdAnd he don't want anyone to knowAnd he don't want anyone to seeYou lie and cheat to break the beat babyHeart on your sleeve you wanna meet maybeSomeday you'll find what you're looking forSomeday you'll be begging at your own front doorYou're running, you're gunning for the gates of EdenHead full of knowledge and a heart for freedomSomeday Jamie you'll fall on your faceSomeday boy you're gonna break those chainsJamie's family loves him, waiting for his returnA pocket full of second guesses, when will he ever learnYou lie and cheat to break the beat babyHeart on your sleeve you wanna meet maybeSomeday you'll find what you're looking forSomeday you'll be begging at your own front doorYou're running, you're gunning for the gates of EdenHead full of knowledge and a heart for freedomSomeday Jamie you'll fall on your faceSomeday boy you're gonna break those chains
