Jack N Coke Lyrics

Jack N Coke lyrics

Most days I wake up early. 

Throw on my sneakers and I run to the store to
buy a pack of 

ciagrettes. 

On the way I see Jim strumming his
guitar, 

Hoping passerbys will throw him a few cents. 

So we try
real hard to make of it what we can do. 

Jim's got: a nice smile, and a
few good tunes for you. 

He'll be playing there every morning till he's
through.... 

But, the end is nowhere in this city. 



I wave
to Jim and I drag the Camel Light 

...is green, cross the street, avoid
distractions in-between 

Old Katie still sics her two big dogs on little
kids 

Who get a bit too close for their own good... And then... 

Katie goes inside and calls her own - 

she hasn't seen them since they
left her all alone 

She'll be calling them in every morning's dial tone,


But, 

The end is nowhere in this city. 



So you can
leave or you can go now. 

You can pack your bags and hit the country road
now 

Or: 

You can do what I do when things get rough: 

Make a
Jack 'N Coke and suck it up. 



I've heard the answers, I've heard
you prayers 

I've seen everything you need 

To get from here to
there. 

But there's no magic cure, no panacea to spread around; 

Just ask Jim, or guys like him in town 



So we try real hard to
make of it what we can do. 

Jim's got: a nice smile, and a few good tunes
for you. 

He'll be playing there every morning till he's through.... 

But, the end is nowhere in this city. 



So you can leave or you
can go now. 

You can pack your bags and hit the country road now 

Or: 

You can do what I do when things get rough: 

Make a Jack 'N
Coke and suck it up 



Sit down, lay down, watch the music as it
shatters 

Glasses in your room
