Hurricane J The Hold Steady

[Verse 1]
Jessie, I'm not joking around
I see the crowd you're hanging with
And those kids don't seem positive
Don't all those cigs make you tired?
You know I'll never ask you to change, I only ask you to try
I know you're gonna do what I know you're gonna do
But 22 and banging around in restaurants
Isn't that much prettier than banging around in bars
And why do you keep going to his car?

[Chorus]
I don't want this to stop, I want you to know
I don't want you to settle, I want you to grow
Forget all the boys that you met at the harbor
You're too hard already, you'll only get harder

[Verse 2]
Jessie, let's go for a ride
I know a place that we could stop
I know a place that we could drink and kiss for a while
I know a place that always makes you smile
I know you're gonna say what I know you're gonna say
I know you'll look at the ground, I know you'll probably cry
You're a beautiful girl and you're a pretty good waitress
But Jessie, I don't think I'm the guy
