Sixwire - Jack lyrics

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 average day in his average life He hugs his kids and he kisses his wife Then drives his minivan to his nine-to-five No one 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 There's more to 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 gonna 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) 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 can believe he would ever do a thing like that But then you don't know Jack No you don't know Jack
