Jack Lyrics - Singles - Sixwire

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 

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 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 

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 can believe, he would ever do a thing like that 

But then you don't know Jack, no you don't know Jack
