Life Loves Lone Jack

Music: Pat Metheny
Lyrics: Randy Phillips 

Cats who knew him back when
Said he’s never been the same since he got back from ‘Nam
In the maze of his bent mind
Life is good and life
Loves Lone Jack

By the bus stop street sign
Where he salvages a treasure trove of stubbed out smokes
Half a sandwich, heaven sent
Life is good and life
Loves Lone Jack

Punching shadows out on the city streets
He falls
Follows littered wind
Talks to no one, nobody else sees
But him,
Lone Jack

All the suits shake their heads
But he’s not the one imprisoned by the 9 to 5
The Divine Spark will provide
Life is good and life
Loves Lone Jack

Angels spinning
Light up his brain
Hallelujah lightning through
His veins

Set to Pat Metheny’s “Lone Jack”
