Hazel O'Connor - My Friend Jack lyrics

Hazel O`Connor - A. Karner



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
