OZARK MOUNTAIN DAREDEVILS- " JACKIE BLUE "

WENT TO # 3 IN 1975. LYRICS:

GUITAR SOLO INTRO)
ooh-hoo, jackie blue
lives her life from inside of a room
hides that smile when she's wearin' a frown
ooh jackie, you're not so down

you like your life in a free-form style
you'll take an inch but you'd love a mile
there never seems to be quite enough
floating around to fill your lovin' cup

ooh-hoo, jackie blue
what's a game, girl, if you never lose
ask a winner and you'll prob'bly find
ooh jackie, they've lost at sometime

don't try to tell me that you're not aware
of what you're doing and that you don't care
you say it's easy, just a nat'ral thing
like playing music but you never sing

ooh-hoo, jackie blue
making wishes that never come true
going places where you've never been
ooh jackie, you're going again
(GUITAR SOLO)

ooh-hoo, jackie blue
likes a dream that can never come true
making love is like siftin' through sand
ooh jackie, it slips through your hand

ev'ry day, in your indigo eyes
I watch the sun set but I don't see it rise
moonlight and stars in your strawberry
wine
you'd take the world but you won't take the time

ooh-hoo, jackie blue
lives her life from inside of a room
makes you think that her life is a drag
ooh jackie, what fun you have had

ooh jackie, ooh jackie
ooh jackie, ooh jackie
hey, hey, hey, hey
(GUITAR SOLO

@ursa41 Something else that says a great deal about the music of the era..this song only reached number three! Very good of course but if magnificent tunes like this can't go higher than #3 then how great is the other stuff of the times? Bear in mind though that there were some seriously decrepit "music critics" that wouldn't know a guitar rift from a continental rift, but nevertheless, it tells me that the music from that timeless era is incomparable.

I heard this song yesterday on the radio. I just love, love this song. I wish I could go back in time. Great talent!

I USED TO HEAR THIS ON 77 WABC RADIO WHEN I WAS GROWING UP THIS STILL TAKES ME BACK TO GOOD OLD DAYS

This is when music was music. A true golden oldie.
