Jackals Sleeping

baby, it’s time tomorrow
for us to give this sleepy town away
i look at you as you lay sleeping
feeling the warmth of my younger days
innocence, she draws me towards the ocean
this magnet gently tugging at my soul
and I fear there is naught to do about it
these forces are far beyond control
let’s leave this wild pack of jackals sleeping
our fortune is on the road
let’s leave this wild pack of jackals sleeping
our fortune is on the road
baby let’s go on down to the pool hall tonight
and wait for everybody else to leave
this green expanse of velvet, now my senses are overwhelmed
let’s sleep until the stars slip in their pockets, deep
let’s leave this wild pack of jackals sleeping
our fortune is on the road
let’s leave this wild pack of jackals sleeping
our fortune is on the road
