Me & Jerome - Sarah Slean

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'
