Kadison, Joshua - American Hearts Lyrics
Down on Pico, a sailor on leave
Finds a tattoo parlor, rolls up his sleeve.
Man takes his money, says, "What's it gonna be?"
Kid says, "A big red heart, signed 'Forever Marie'."
He'll probably want to change it in a year or two.
Hour later, man says, "It's all done."
Sailor takes a look and says, "This ain't the one.
You wrote Martha, but her name is Marie."
The man says, "Yeah, this one's on me.
Here's your money, I'm sorry about it
But I've had a lot on my mind that just won't quit."
American hearts, American souls,
Living on American rock and roll.
Tomorrow after work, we'll do it all again.
We're just American hearts, American souls,
Living on American rock and roll.
Life ain't always easy, but it's always alright.
And Johnny got a new tattoo tonight.
Well, long-distance to his sweet Marie
Says, "You'll never guess what happened to me."
Tells the story, every word.
Marie starts laughing at the tales she's heard.
She says, "That's all right, you did them no harm.
It's what's in your heart, not the heart on your arm."
American hearts, American souls,
Living on American rock and roll.
Turn the radio up, cruising with your friends.
Tomorrow after work, we'll do it all again.
We're just American hearts, American souls,
Living on American rock and roll.
Life ain't always easy, but it's always alright.
And Johnny got a new tattoo tonight.
A new tattoo tonight...
Well, things worked out just according to plan.
You see Martha came back to the tattoo man.
Standing in the doorway in a haze of smoke
She said, "I hadda come home before you went flat broke.
Reading my name all around on
Every poor sailor brand new in town."
American hearts, American souls,
Living on American rock and roll.
Turn the radio up, cruising with your friends.
Tomorrow after work, we'll do it all again.
We're just American hearts, American souls,
Living for American rock and roll.
Life ain't always easy, but it's always alright
For a wanna-be Brando with his jeans on tight.
American hearts, American souls,
Living on American rock and roll.
Turn the radio up, cruising with your friends.
Tomorrow after work, we'll do it all again.
We're just American hearts, American souls,
Living on American rock and roll.
Life ain't always easy, but it's always alright.
And Johnny got a new tattoo tonight.
He got a new tattoo...
Johnny...
Johnny...
Got a new tattoo.

Taught it was Elton John who sang this
Голос Элтона Джона да???
Thank you so much! Awesome
I had forgotten all about this song until I heard it the other day in the grocery store. Wow, 1993. I was 25 with a two-year old. So much has happened in that space of time.
Beautiful always makes me sad
I gave this cd to my best friend for his 21st birthday
I was with the best girl I ever was with and her name was Jessie and this song reminds me of her
Had to listen to this song a thousand times at a place where I worked, I really started to hate it.
Just love this. It brings bitter, sweet memories.
Every guy has had a Jessie in his life...
I'll be listening to this in 2099
Put this on first thing, it had been an ear worm the raw emotion, you can touch it keep the cat. Bril song
Men are so vulnerable to a woman they are love with. Thanks for the beautiful song.
There's a rumor saying that Jessie is about actress Sarah Jessica Parker
All 9 songs on the Painted Desert Serenade album are great and I'm glad I have the Painted Desert Serenade album on CD
OH WOW! Just heard this for the first time.. It is so amazing! Kinda Elton and Cat Stevens. Thank you!
He reminds me of michael landon from a little house on the prairie
Going to have that trailor by the sea x
I swear to God this time it's gonna last and who knows, maybe things will turn out just the way you planned. For sure one of my favorite songs
♥♥♥
Jessie the original dream seller 🤦🏾♂️
This is genuinely one of my favourite songs of all time and this is the first time I've ever seen this video!
Errol in thé house...
He is great !
I absolutely love this song, it was played all the time when I was a kid on local radio. Last month I introduced it to my boyfriend...he had never heard it! 😱 lol.
Elton John rip-off!
And me! Getting a Gorgeous Joshua fix!
My Godddddd i loveeeeee this song!!!!
Jessie paint your picture about about how its gonna be
Beautiful
Days of great music and real singing
2019 👌
What a great story teller i get swept up in the melody and words
I named my oldest daughter Jessica because of this song
Waooo, beautiful melody, wish can take a trip to Mexico too
Great piano sound.
WOW!! This brings back such sweet memories!!!!! Thank you for making this video. Oh the 80’s and 90’s I wish I could turn back time.
This man is so beautiful, I want to be his Jessie ❤️
Fun fact, the abandoned structures in the beginning are in Rhyolite Nevada (I believe)
Baby, I've been thinking 'bout a trailer by the sea.. ❤️ Love this song!
Ever green
The song where my son has bin called afther
💙🍃🌹🍃💙🍒🌹
Just heard this song on the radio thinking this was being sung by Elton John..
Little known fact (I think): This song is about his one time girlfriend Sarah Jessica Parker, yes that one...or so the rumor has it.
2019 Who is listening?
Always soooo much nostalgia
I have a friend who this song reminds me of. She always has plans for us to work together, but just as this song says: “by now I should know better, your dreams are never free”. Love this song.
Stll loving this in 2019 and any years to come. Classic one hit wonder. I was 8 years old when this came out and my parents where just divorcing, so it gives me bittersweet memories which will remain.
Can't listen to this song without having tears in my eyes😭
Me too. Once you can apply this lyrics to your life, you're fucked..
Okunmaz adam, Nuriye
This beautiful song makes me cry ,was meant to be our wedding song
Who are you please that replied ?
Cool looking dude, but fuck me does he need to get a pair and get over her.
Ring ring
Hello?
Hey baby it's me. I miss you
Jessie? Its been three years? Are you drinking again??
Josh, please baby. We can drink tequila and look for sea shells. I promise I won't leave you again.
Listen Jessie. Stop bothering me, leave me alone. I'm sorry it's not worked out for you but I'm happy now. I'm married, now. Don't ring again.
