Lyrics for Oh Jesse by Dave Stewart from the The Way It Was Back Then

Written by : Dave Stewart.

SEE BELOW FOR FULL CREDITS

No cars on the highway,
Jammed in on the subway,
Planes stuck on the runway,
Out cold in the alleyway,
Oh, no, no,
Oh, no, no,
We ain’t going nowhere,

Black blood on the dance floor,
Who’s escaping through the back door?
Cold ice on the main street,
Wave a flag and you’re dead meat,
Oh, no, no,
Oh, no, no,
We ain’t going nowhere,

Oh, Jesse,
It ain’t over yet,
Oh, Jesse,
Some things we never forget,

Cold nights in the dog house,
You’re keeping warm in the jail house,
Long nights in the court room,
Staring down at your own tomb,
Oh, no, no,
Oh, no, no,
You weren’t going nowhere,

Oh, Jesse,
It ain’t over yet,
Oh, Jesse,
Some things we never forget,

Oh, Jesse,
It ain’t over yet,
Oh, Jesse,
Don’t act like we never met,
Oh, Jesse,
Some things we never forget.
