Jackie Skates - Janis Ian[00:00:00]

Written by：Janis Ian[00:00:00]

Jackie skates across the freeway[00:00:10]

Like a suicide in steel[00:00:12]

Scatters ashes of her memory[00:00:18]

To the wind behind the wheel[00:00:20]

It's the road that makes the rhythm[00:00:26]

It's the chalk marks on her soul[00:00:29]

It's the task that he's been given[00:00:36]

To keep her memory whole[00:00:38]

She was younger than forever[00:00:48]

She was older than goodbye[00:00:50]

And she never saw the trucker[00:00:57]

As he wove across the line[00:00:59]

Just another L.A. drifter[00:01:04]

With the freeway in her blood[00:01:08]

And she never knew what hit her[00:01:14]

When she ran right out of luck[00:01:16]

It was Jackie called the parents[00:01:27]

It was Jackie won the prize[00:01:29]

It was Jackie fed the silence[00:01:35]

When they could not meet his eyes[00:01:37]

It was Jackie took the body[00:01:42]

It was Jackie packed her stuff[00:01:46]

And he never really loved her[00:01:52]

Though he liked her well enough[00:01:54]

Sometimes at night he sees her[00:02:05]

From the corner of his eye[00:02:07]

And he's just about to tell her[00:02:13]

That he has no alibi[00:02:15]

It's fate that makes the moment[00:02:21]

That's what he wants to cry[00:02:24]

But the words he needs are frozen[00:02:30]

He can't even say goodbye[00:02:32]

Jackie skates across the freeway[00:02:43]

Like a suicide in steel[00:02:45]

Scatters ashes of her memory[00:02:52]

To the wind behind the wheel[00:02:54]
