Lyrics
Do you remember my old friend Jack.
They caught him with some cocaine a long while back.
Well he's home now and he's trying to start a new life.
I'd really like to make it over there to see him and his wife.
He played a mighty fine guitar, mandolin and steel.
He used to play a lot before he started to deal
And I'm hoping that he hasn't forgotten how to sing
And that prison hasn't scarred his soul and ruined everything.
He was such an inspirarion to me.
When he played and sang he made it look so easy
And when my songs were just beginning to come
He told me this, "You've got to follow your bliss.
A song is like a kiss. You've got to put yourself into it."
So Steve if you can manage to maybe scare up a car,
We'll go wake up Billy and tell him to grab a guitar
You can drive and I can roll
And we'll be there by high noon.
Maybe Jack will surprise us with a brand new tune.
They caught him with some cocaine a long while back.
Well he's home now and he's trying to start a new life.
I'd really like to make it over there to see him and his wife.
He played a mighty fine guitar, mandolin and steel.
He used to play a lot before he started to deal
And I'm hoping that he hasn't forgotten how to sing
And that prison hasn't scarred his soul and ruined everything.
He was such an inspirarion to me.
When he played and sang he made it look so easy
And when my songs were just beginning to come
He told me this, "You've got to follow your bliss.
A song is like a kiss. You've got to put yourself into it."
So Steve if you can manage to maybe scare up a car,
We'll go wake up Billy and tell him to grab a guitar
You can drive and I can roll
And we'll be there by high noon.
Maybe Jack will surprise us with a brand new tune.

Thanks for responding. The last version did cut off, and this fade out is
much nicer. Such a wonderful tune, so well produced. As I said in the
earlier version, great track.
