My Friend Jack

(альбом: Brownsville Station - 1977)

I got a friend and his name is Jack
Lives in a bottle and the label's black
Not only that, we're a hell of a team
Seems to have meaning
Without all in my dreams

(My friend Jack!)
He's a hell of a friend
(My friend Jack!)
Be with me til the end
(My friend Jack!)
Always by my side
My friend Jack, best thing I've ever tried

Well, I met 'ol Jack in Lynchburg, Tennessee
A big cold-hearted woman got the best of me
Rejected, broken-hearted, lonesome and blue
But good 'ol Jack, he helped to pull me through

(My friend Jack!)
He's a hell of a friend
(My friend Jack!)
Be with me til the end
(My friend Jack!)
Always by my side
My friend Jack, best thing I've ever tried

All right!

Now, to this day he's always by my side
26 ounces of courage and pride
I don't have no worries, 'cept for maybe one
To wake up one morning find that Jack is gone

(My friend Jack!)
He's a hell of a friend
(My friend Jack!)
Be with me til the end
(My friend Jack!)
Always by my side
My friend Jack, best thing I've ever tried

One more!
(My friend Jack!)
He's a hell of a friend
(My friend Jack!)
Be with me til the end
(My friend Jack!)
Always by my side
My friend Jack, best thing I've ever tried
