I am 80 years of age and not a fan of what the internet has done to our culture but there is an exception and that is the ability to listen to a huge compliment of the songs that were popular in my best days. Thanks youtube. Jessi is one of my many favorites. Also the Ken Burns country music series on PBS recently is worthy of seeing again.

Jessi wrote this song (like all her others) by herself and it became one of the biggest, most defining hits of the 1970s, selling almost 3 million copies as a single (No. 4 Billboard Pop, No. 1 Billboard Country, No. 1 Canada Pop, etc.). Her Capitol albums sold millions across country and pop, and she scored other self-written classic hits like ‘Storms Never Last’ and ‘What’s Happened to Blue Eyes.’ Yet, she pulled the rug out from under her meteoric career to devote herself to something far more important than fame-her marriage to Waylon Jennings and to motherhood. Did she do wrong? No way. She turned 80 last month (May 2023), remarried after decades as a widow, looks like she’s 50, still sings amazingly, and has a new album of original country-rock songs coming out in September. Jessi played the long game, and, being the “Carly Simon of country music,” nobody does it better.

[@funny1226]

Jessi has never been given credit or recognition for the true legendary artist she is. I don’t know how to describe it but listening to her songs much like Tammy Wynette is an experience and reaches down deep where your soul is. There should be an awards show that names simply legends of music and no not the hall of fame… I mean create Century Legends of Music as the top echelon of artists who’ve ever ever created and sang songs that will never fade away. Songs and artists who sing them like this or Etta James singing At Last. Willie Nelson singing Blue Eyes Crying or Led Zeppelin singing Stairway To Heaven and such.

[@funny1226]

Reminds me of my momma and that country bar we would go to. I’d make a killing at 7 years old running to the juke to play songs for the carnival of people who sat at a 3 sided small bar. Looking around you saw either Tammy Wynette hair or Waylon/Willie guys who were gruff. What I remember most about that place was my mom’s best friend’s who looked like Tammy Wynette and an accountant…. Shirley and Bobby. Their daughter was also a close friend… Anita. Why does the names fit a country trailer park community drinking their life away and reliving past loves and memories. I’m gonna write a country song about that tragedy of lost hope someday.

[@shannoncrosby5273]

I can’t listen to this without crying. For years my interpretation was that it was about a man whose love of his life left him. Then I read a comment under the album version by someone who thought it was about a widower and that gave it a whole new meaning. I guess it could be either way, but she sings “His hand lead her away” on the album and now makes me think the loss is final. Jesse’s beautiful voice really nails the sorrow in this song.

Lisa faced your son in person. I remember how it felt when one boyfriend told me out of the blue that our relationship was off, over the phone. Months later I heard he had shacked up with a female who broke off with her dude to be with my ex. No children involved. Eight years later I then married a divorced man.

30 odd years ago I was an RN at a nursing home working the Alzheimer's wing. A man named George had "sundowner's syndrome"; he was fairly normal until evening then deteriorated rapidly. He had two fixations come bedtime: One, he'd left his truck out in the field and was worried about it; and two, he didn't know where his wife was (dead many years.) The truck wasn't a problem; someone would jingle his/her car keys and tell him he'd parked it in the garage. When it was his wife though, he'd get more and more upset (and violent) until we finally had to tell him that she was dead. That was the heart breaking part, because no matter how many times this occurred, for him it was the first time he'd heard it and his "fresh" grief would tear out your heart. If this song is really about a nurse dealing with such a patient, my heart goes out to her. If not, then it certainly does apply with those nurses who have to deal with this.

No one necessarily died. Colter is acting-out a character in her gothic story-song. In this story, a woman is pleading with her man to “get over” his past girlfriend/wife and start living in the present. The former partner (“Lisa”) is long-gone-she left for whatever reason-but “Julie” is with him *now* and will love him unconditionally ‘til the day he dies. But she doesn’t want to compete with the “ghost” of a former girlfriend. Tale as old as time, really. But Colter composed a haunting, unforgettable musical reflection upon that unique situation that happens sometimes between men and women. Magic song, as Waylon rightly described it, and one of the biggest hits of the 1970s. It sold nearly 3 million copies over the years as a single alone.

I've never known a Lisa or a Julie and this song stirs no personal memories but, something about it awakens every emotion in my body. I'm 80 years old and when I hear it I feel like a teenager again.

[@humphreybogart6663]

I unfortunately had a Lisa of 18 years that left me and divorced and this song stings like a mutha even after 2 years...however I hope to one day find a "Julie" if that is how it goes. I learned of thus sing a mere few weeks before I met her. We joked about this song being her song. Can you believe the irony?? Those jokes just aren't funny anymore!

[@Leebug416]

I'm Lisa and my sister is Julie. Lol

Jessi Coulter, Linda Ronstadt, & Melanie Safka - three of the most beautiful women of that era, & no one has come close since.

Lyrics: I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie Lisa left you years ago My eyes are not blue, but mine won't leave you 'Till the sunlight has touched your face She was your morning light Her smile told of no night Your love for her grew With each rising sun And then one winter day His hand led hers away She left you here drowning in your tears Here where you've been for years Crying Lisa, Lisa I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie Lisa left you years ago My eyes are not blue, but mine won't leave you 'Till the sunlight shines through your face I'm not Lisa

So glad the Universe opens paths to amazing talents. Been listening to Waylon and discovered Jessi. Somehow i missed them in their rightful era but discovering the talent now.

Remember when this was recorded and have always liked it. About 25 years ago some new friends daughter is Lisa. Every time I see her it brings back memories of years gone by. Also made one more person a lover of this song. Lisa plays it often.

How could anyone not like this song??

I'm Lisa and my friend was Julie.... we would play this on the jukebox at dons bar and sing ... when we weren't even old enough to be there lol (back in the 80's)

Hey how are you doing?

[@joannevanderelst177]

This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs, in my opinion.

[@scotthill6807]

The beautiful Jessi Colter and the beautiful I'm Not Lisa. Back when Country Music Songs didn't all sound the same.

[@prairiemark4084]

I remember singing this song with my cousin driving to British Columbia in an old 1960s Chevy truck. We sang along as we drove to another cousins wedding out West in Canada. He married a Mennonite! That must have been about 1974 or 75. We stopped at a convenience store and bought some crackers and some Squirrel brand peanut butter and ate our dinner along the sid of the road. We were on a low budget I guess. It is funny how I remember stuff I did when I first heard a song, even the brand of the peanut butter.

[@lorie4913]

Memories. They are worth a million.

[@prairiemark4084]

Especially as we age out!! My father started to talk about his WWII experiences when he was very old. Before that he would not talk about the terrible stuff. Thanks for the comment. @@lorie4913

I have loved this song all my life. : ) I always wondered if "Lisa" died or left for another man. Hmm.... Jessi and Waylon were wonderful artists. Bless their hearts.

Waylon Jennings was blessed to have Jessi....she was too good for him
