Miss Jeanne-Marie Lyrics by JP Harris

Sometimes Dogs Bark at Nothing

2018

[Verse 1]
How some sunny southern woman
Ever wound up in the northwoods
Falling for some well-meant no-good boy
I think we'll never know
She wasn't much of a gambler
But took kindly to this rambler
Rolled the dice and gave a heart away
That he just couldn't hold
[Verse 2]
And he was young and unrepentant
Of a life apart that he lived
Of the shadows he would run to
When the honky tonk shut down
With no chance it'd last forever
She held fast against the weather
Through his storms until her heart was broke
Scattered on the ground
[Chorus]
Oh, but Miss Jeanne-Marie
I met you at the wrong time
With my days turned dark by wild nights
And this heart could not be tamed
Oh but don't get me wrong
You were my fondest lover
If I could live this life all over
Girl, I'd surely change your name
[Verse 3]
There's time you count by heartbeats
Count by rhythm and guitar leads
Count the lovers like the fall leaves
Turnin' red and on to gold
The sound of faltered footsteps
Falling gently at your doorstep
Drinkin' bittersweet the heartbreak
Fearin' that we were growin' old
[Chorus]
Oh, but Miss Jeanne-Marie
I met you at the wrong time
With my days turned dark by wild nights
And this heart could not be tamed
Oh but don't get me wrong
You were my fondest lover
If I could live this life all over
Girl, I'd surely change your name
