Yosef Siegal - Freddy and Jackie (feat. Tim Day) Lyrics

Jackie was the girl from the pizza place
That's how Freddy thought about her with a smile on his face
Her daddy held the lease on his record store
And Freddy didn't think that he could take it anymore
So he grabbed his Strat and started to play
And he wrote the greatest song he'd ever written that day
But the radio wasn't playing his tunes
So it wasn't long till he was back to killing afternoons
But everything changed every Saturday night
When they walked along the seashore everything felt right
Yeah they knew that they were going somewhere
And one day soon, together, they'd get out of there
Jackie got a job in the school
And when Freddy sold a song, he thought that everything was cool
But money came and went overnight
And after days and weeks and months, yeah, they were too tired to fight
So they tried to find their fortunes alone
But they couldn't stand the silence as they stared at the phone
Their happiness had drifted away
So when Freddy came back home she knew he'd be there to stay
Cause everything changed every Saturday night
When they held each other tightly everything felt right
Yeah they knew that they were going somewhere
And one day soon, together, they'd get out of there
Jackie was asleep with the TV on
Looking back, she never knew exactly when he had gone
But Freddy had a plan of his own
And in the flashing red and blue she saw that she was alone
Later when he told her the tale
She didn't even know that he was calling from jail
He surprised her daddy lying in bed
And he took his cash and then he put a bullet in his head
So everything changed one Saturday night
When he looked him in the eye and squeezed the trigger tight
Yeah he saw that they weren't going anywhere
And now he knew they'd never ever get out of there
