Jennifer Johnson And Me Lyrics

Deep in the pocket, of an old sport coat jacket
I chanced to discover an old memory
Three for a quarter, a black and white portrait
Taken of Jennifer Johnson and me

I'm in the corner, my shirt collar open
Like some Latin lover, on late night TV
Smiling right there with her head on my shoulder
It's Jennifer Johnson, and she's lookin' at me

It must have been summer, Ninteen Sixty Seven
The Beatles were singing Love Is All You Need
I held her hand as we walked through the arcade
Two young believers on a three dollar spree

Three for a quarter a black and white portrait
Jen, close the curtain so no one can see
Hey kiss me quick, 'cause the red light is flashing
It's flashing on Jennifer Johnson and Me

Waiting on that late night train back to home
I felt her warm, in the cool evening breeze
Told her I'd probably love her forever
Forever for Jennifer Johnson and Me

Three for a quarter a black and white portrait
Jen, close the curtain so no one can see
Hey kiss me quick, 'cause the red light is flashing
It's flashing on Jennifer Johnson and Me

Three for a quarter a black and white portrait
Two young believers on a three dollar spree
I saved you picture in my sport coat pocket
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me

Cover art for Jennifer Johnson And Me lyrics by Robert Earl Keen, Jr.

I think this song is all about the innocence of your first love, and how you can't even imagine it not working out. I like this song alot, and brings up some great nostaligic moments for me personally.

Like the song (the lyrics anyway); I need to check it out via Youtube. I think you're right. You never forget your first kiss and your first true love. Mine was in college (the love, although I was a late bloomer for the kiss, too:), and I swear I can recall everthing we ever talked about; every kiss we shared; and every place we ever went together. I can still see him standing tall and thin with a crooked smile on his pasty skin. He was 5 years my junior, but we were both so innocent. I thought I'd marry...
