Lyrics
Jack
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Jack is your neighbor-you see him every day
(He) picks up his paper and he throws you a wave
An ordinary man-seems like a heck of a guy
An adverage day in his adverage life
He hugs his kids and he kisses his wife
Then drives his minivan to his nine-to-five
No onw knew a thing 'til they caught him on tape
Breaking into cars at the YMCA
Chorus:
Did you hear about Jack?
Everybody's talking
It wasn't such a straight and narrow line he was walking
No one can believe he would ever do a thing like that
But then you don't know Jack
Ther's more tho this story that we haven't heard yet
But it seems our friend Jack had some gambling debt
That got out of hand-and he couldn't pay
And his eighty grand a year doesn't cover his bills
When he spends it all on prostitutes and pills
But a desperate man is going to find a way
A wallet lying on the front seat of a car
Couldn't solve all his problems
But it's a good start
Chorus:
Did you hear about Jack?
Everybody's talking
It wasn't such a straight and narrow line he was walking
No one can believe he would ever do a thing like that
But then you don't know Jack
Late last night, Jack went for a drive
He had a revelation down on I-65
He'd be worth more dead
Than he was alive
Did you hear about Jack?
It's all over town
They're not really sure about the way it went down
No one ca believe he would ever do a thing like that
But the you don't know Jack
No you don't know Jack
