You slammed the door last night and you went away
As you told your dad, a preacher man, you didn't want to stay
And mama really cried (woo)
As you took the hand of a lonely stranger
And so you took the ride
To the city where real freedom just begins!
Jackie, please, just take the time to listen to what I say
I think that you are headed for disaster
Sometimes the things you wish to keep are the things to give away
So Jackie come back home
You are losing a golden chance for a broken heart
You've tried the ways of the city twilight girls
And you climbed the ranks to a beauty queen, you know the latest curls
But there you are (there you are)
Sitting on the street so broken hearted
Yes, there you are
Sick and tired of all that life can bring
You thought the word of God was an ancient dream
The kind of thing the civilized must fight and throw away
Please hear me now
It's the only thing that will help you, Jackie
Come back home
Daddy longs to take you back again
So Jackie, please, just take the time to listen to what I say
I think that you are headed for disaster
Sometimes the things you wish to keep are the things to give away
So Jackie come back home
You are losing a golden chance for a broken heart
