Jen Cass: Music
Straight White Line
Jimmy’s got a suitcase in the back seat of his car
A fifty-seven Chevrolet
Any time some woman tries to steal away his heart
He makes a hasty getaway
He’s got atlases and road maps and an extra set of plates
So he can run from love in every single state
Na na yeah…na na na na yeah…
Jimmy gives his heart away like spare change on the street
Takes it back without regret
Then he wonders why he feels so incomplete
Why he isn’t married yet
But the women that he thinks he loves are very seldom free
And the ones who are available he doesn’t want to see
Na na yeah…na na na na yeah…
CHORUS:
And so he’s…
Off to chase that straight white line
The ones with curves
They give him trouble every time
Na na yeah…na na na na yeah…
Jimmy says he’s lonely but he’d like to be alone
And that’s a tragic epithet
Someday he’d like to settle down and buy a home
But he ain’t that lonely yet
And he’s still paying off the Chevy and the single engine plane
And the yacht down in Miami is a constant resource drain
Na na yeah…na na na na yeah…
CHORUS
