Jackie Brown Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Is this your life, Jackie Brown? 

Poorly educated and forced to live on the poor side of town. 

Is this your daughter, Jackie Brown? 

This pretty little girl 

In the worn out clothes 

That have been hand-me down. 

Is this your wife, Jackie Brown? 

With sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells so you don't see her frown. 

Is this your family, Jackie Brown?

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

Dream of vacationing on a mountain stream 

And giving the world more than it gave you. 

What ugly truths freedom brings 

And it hasn't been very kind to you. 

Is this your life, Jackie Brown? 

Is this your meal, Jackie Brown? 

Barely enough, I've seen people throw away more than this out. 

Is this your home, Jackie Brown? 

This three room shack 

With no running water 

And the bathroom out back. 

Is this your grave, Jackie Brown? 

This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man took himself out. 

Is this your dream, Jackie Brown?

Going nowhere and nowhere fast 

We shame ourselves to watch people like this live. 

But who gives a damn about Jackie Brown? 

Just another lazy man who couldn't take what was his. 

One helluva life Jackie Brown. 

Forevermore, Jackie Brown 

Amen and amen - Jackie Brown?
