Jack - 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 lifeHe 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 YMCADid 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 JackThere'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 pillsBut 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 startDid 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 JackLate last night, Jack went for a drive
He had a revelation down on I-65
He'd be worth more dead than he was aliveDid 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
