Title: Me and Jean
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
We met back in college, Hillsdale ’86,
Two small-town girls with big city dreams to fix.
Late-night coffee and plans we’d never keep,
Laughin’ till the dawn when we should’ve been asleep.
You packed your bags for California skies,
I stayed here where the Buckeye River lies.
Miles apart but hearts still close as kin,
No matter where life takes us, I know where we’ve been.
[Chorus]
Me and Jean, we’ve seen it all,
From wedding bells to heartbreak calls.
We’ve held each other through joy and pain,
Through sunshine, loss, and pouring rain.
She’s got the kindest soul I’ve ever seen,
That’s my best friend — my Jean.
[Verse 2]
Watched our babies grow and fly away,
Called each other just to say “I’m okay.”
Cried for our parents when the angels came,
But we found our strength in each other’s name.
Through every change, one thing stayed true,
If I needed love, I’d call on you.
There’s no distance time can ever bend,
You’re more than a friend — you’re the story that won’t end.
[Chorus]
Me and Jean, we’ve seen it all,
From wedding bells to heartbreak calls.
We’ve held each other through joy and pain,
Through sunshine, loss, and pouring rain.
She’s got the kindest soul I’ve ever seen,
That’s my best friend — my Jean.
[Bridge]
If I could bottle up the laughter we’ve known,
I’d keep it safe for the days we’re alone.
Some things fade, but this I swear —
When I count my blessings, you’re always there.
[Final Chorus]
Me and Jean, through all these years,
Through the laughter, through the tears.
From Michigan to the ocean breeze,
She’s my sister by heart, my oldest peace.
No truer friend has ever been,
That’s my best friend — my Jean.
[Tag]
Yeah… that’s my best friend — my Jean.
