This song was the reason I finally decided to start this blog. Done by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils in 1974, this is a smooth little number, and quite frankly the only song I know by them. I think there awesome beards and slide guitar easily make up for this fact. Also, the drummer, Larry Lee, sings this track, and I've always enjoyed a drummer who can multitask. Although not the most upbeat of songs, I find this one rather catchy. I have posted a link below to a video of it, but also highly recommend looking up the live version. The quality is a little less, but seeing them play their own song is worth it.

JACKIE BLUE
ooh-hoo, jackie blue
lives her life from inside of a room
hides that smile when she's wearin' a frown
ooh jackie, you're not so down
you like your life in a free-form style
you'll take an inch but you'd love a mile
there never seems to be quite enough
floating around to fill your lovin' cup
ooh-hoo, jackie blue
what's a game, girl, if you never lose
ask a winner and you'll prob'bly find
ooh jackie, they've lost at sometime
don't try to tell me that you're not aware
of what you're doing and that you don't care
you say it's easy, just a nat'ral thing
like playing music but you never sing
ooh-hoo, jackie blue
making wishes that never come true
going places where you've never been
ooh jackie, you're going again
ooh-hoo, jackie blue
likes a dream that can never come true
making love is like siftin' through sand
ooh jackie, it slips through your hand
ev'ry day, in your indigo eyes
I watch the sun set but I don't see it rise
moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine
you'd take the world but you won't take the time
ooh-hoo, jackie blue
lives her life from inside of a room
makes you think that her life is a drag
ooh jackie, what fun you have had
ooh jackie, ooh jackie
ooh jackie, ooh jackie
hey, hey, hey, hey
