Jet Black And Jealous - Eli Young Band

No you never were one for resting easy were ya

So much that when they told me how you left us here behind

That I didn’t even bat an eye believing

In words I should have said to make you stay but couldn’t find

I just hoped that road would one day watch you walk right back to me

‘Til then I’ll be

Jet black and jealous

And I’ll dare not let ‘em know that now you’re gone

How I’ll still be a fool for the way we used to be

I just keep laughin' out loud and play along

As if I traded you for one the way you traded me

‘Cause with your beat up bag and your laced up shoes

You walked right out the door

And I hit the floor

Jet black and jealous

Tell me how was I to know

Tell me how can I let go

I know wherever you are tonight

You look just like a queen

Stealing the scene

Jet black and jealous

And I bet by now you’re rolling through Pittsburg

Watching the rain in passing headlights

From some roadside corner booth

Still smiling ‘bout the choices that you made

Hoping the clouds are breaking up ahead

Skies blue instead of grey

But if you get out there and you find

That it’s not what you thought it’d be, remember me

Jet black and jealous

Tell me how was I to know

Tell me how can I let go

I know wherever you are tonight

You look just like a queen

Stealing the scene

Jet black and jealous

Yeah if you get out there and you find

That it’s not what you thought it’d be come back to me

Tell me how

Tell me how was I to know

Tell me how was I to know
