Me & Jerome

Here's the story 'bout me and Jerome
Just convinced him to come out of his home
Free as freedom with the highways to roam
He said 'I'll take a drink, but I don't smoke anymore', no

He loosened up when we hit Tennessee
Drinkin' bourbon and laughing at me
I asked him why he disappeared so suddenly
He said 'I ran away before they made a movie outta me'

And I'm charmed, charmed, charmed
Glad to take a ride
You're a song, song, song my friend
At lunch we'll split a book and a banana pie

On the interstate I ran out of gas
Had a vision of the motel we passed
The needle was falling, and falling fast
Pulled her in the drive, and the whole thing collapsed

I'm charmed, charmed, charmed
Glad to take a ride
You're a song, song, song my friend
At lunch we'll split a book and a banana pie

He said 'I must admit I've never done this sort of thing
But I like your eyes and the way you sing
It doesn't matter where you ought to be
How you get there's the thing'
