Lyrics
A JFK Moment
Had a JFK moment, not much to do with POTUS
I remember just where I was when my woman wrote this
She said "things have changed for the worst"
"We just have to end"
Then she added the dreaded words
"Can we still be friends ?"
Had a JFK Moment without the grassy knoll
I remember where I was when she ripped out my heart and soul
She said she wanted nothing
Except the dog, the car,the cat
The house and the kids
Even the welcome mat
Chorus
I recall well our first kiss, the first time we held hands
And much, much more than that I bet
But her leaving me is one particular
Piece of history
That I would rather just forget
Verse
Had a JFK moment there was no lone sniper
She put a knife through my heart, I had no strength to fight her
She said she'd been meeting
With my kid brother Lee
At the local book depository
Seems like a conspiracy
Chorus
I recall well our first kiss and the first time we held hands
And much, much more than that I bet
But her leaving me is one particular
Piece of history
I'd rather just forget
Its a piece of history
I should forget
Its a piece of history
I should forget
