John Mellencamp Jackie Brown 1992

"Dream of vacationing on a mountain stream
And giving the world more than it gave you.
What ugly truths freedom brings
And it hasn't been very kind to you.
Is this your life, Jackie Brown?"

Pray for all the Jackie Browns in America

As a dad.. no matter what happens….I have to stick around for them kids as they count on me still….No quitting….That’s what I take from the song

[@RattlesnakeBob]

I saw John back iaround 1991 / 92 ...he did this song whilst the band took a quick break ...just him and his acoustic just like this ............just sheer , absolutely staggeringly awesome ..

[@tonycostanzo4276]

i heard this song back in 94 it still is a powerful wake up call to what is going to get worse in the USA

[@mikewhite4560]

Quite Simple...
Quite TREMENDOUS...

[@ceejaydeesoozaa]

superb solo by Lisa on the viola

[@rosewillis6018]

Looove this!

[@3mikeb]

This version is way better then the original. This should have been on the album!!!

[@mikewhite4560]

Not WAY....

[@3mikeb]

This acoustic version just has more of a deeper feel to it. But that’s my opinion.

[@Gretny]

@@mikewhite4560 It is good though !

Nowww, can you hear a sprinkling of Randy Travis, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Cash 💸💰in John's vocals? I do ...but it's mostly, uniquely JCM isn't it
