My Friend Jack |
| How many roads had I gone, I got to |
| Feeling like I can’t go on and on |
| Lord it seems, it gets so lonesome when |
| You’re following dreams |
| And why was I on that road, where |
| The angels fear, like a fool I chose |
| To give a stranger a ride in the night |
| He said, «heh listen here darling, I’ll |
| Open your eyes» |
| I’ve been up to the bottom, and down to the top |
| Better not give up until you drop |
| There’s a time to live, there’s a time to die |
| My friend Jack said, he’d tell me why |
| You see Jack was a guy back in Vietnam |
| He had a key to survival, to dream of a better time |
| And boy, joy is a thing of the past |
| You gotta believe in the future or you won’t last |
| Oh I believe, I believe in love |
| Oh I believe in the lord above |
| Oh I believe in a better life for |
| You and me and you |
| Well, the next day he was gone, was he dead |
| Or had he up and run |
| And talk with him all his hopes and his dreams |
| Me I was left with my nightmares and screams |
| I’ve been up to the bottom, and down to the top |
| Better not give up until you drop |
| There’s a time to live, there’s a time to die |
| My friend Jack said, he’d tell me why |
| Well I made it back from that bloody war |
| My future what had it all been for |
| No heroes welcome and my woman had left |
| See my name is Jack in case you hadn’t guess |
| Oh I believe, I believe in love |
| Oh I believe in the lord above |
| Oh I believe in a better life for |
| You and me and you |
| So little lady when your feeling lost |
| Remember old Jack, remember the cost |
| So you got no shoes and you wail and weep |
| But remember there’s a guy who ain’t got no feet |
