Cowboy boots and a thrift store dress
Tiger tattoo on her chest
Running late for her date with destiny
In her eyes you can see her soul
like goldfish swimming in a goldfish bowl
always seems to see the best in me

Chorus
Jessica can you hear me now
Jessica can you hear me now
Can you hear me

She lights up when the sun goes down
She’s ill at ease in a daytime town
Candlelight and neon suit her best
Taught herself to play guitar
Strums for friends in a neighborhood bar
Dolly, Dar and Dylan by request

Chorus
Jessica can you hear me now
Jessica can you hear me now
Can you hear me

People say she’s got a gift
Like Sheryl Crow or Taylor Swift
She just smiles and thanks them anyway

Puts her guitar in its case
Finds the tip jar’s full of grace
Just enough for a shot and a beer to chase

Chorus
Jessica can you hear me now
Jessica can you hear me now
Jessica can you hear me now
Jessica can you hear me now
Can you hear me
