Wild Jack
Music and Words by
Rufus Stone and Frazer Hurrell
Verse 1
I'm a hobo on the sidewalk, the shadow of a man
I’m rapping with my own reflection, from the bottle in my hand
I'm offering a smoke of my stokey, to anyone who passes by
In my eyes you can see that I'm hoping, you're gonna stay for a while
Bridge 1
If you got some time to waste, have a taste of my wine and we can chat, my name is Wild Jack.
Verse 2
I used to play funk on my guitar, oh the money I used to make
I had a habit that went just too far, then one day I couldn't play
See when you got a reputation; the pressure can blow your mind
I was searching for the new relaxation, and it wasn't from a bottle of wine
Bridge 2
Oh too many times, I had too many lines, till my brain it started to crack, look at me I’m Wild Jack.
Chorus
Hey mister do ya, think I’ve lost it all, no that ain’t true yeah
I'm may look to ya, a down and out alone, don't let it fool ya
Verse 3
It's a sad, sad situation, from a king to a rook to a pawn
You don't need imagination look at me, what you see here is all I own
Don't think of trying to help me, better your thoughts to the babes that cry
You could be their future, my future is biding time
Bridge 3
Not asking for sympathy, no no just saying where I’m at, my name is Wild Jack
Chorus
Hey mister do ya, think I’ve lost it all, no that ain’t true yeah
I'm may look to ya, a down and out alone, don't let it fool ya
Bridge 3
Not asking for sympathy, no no just saying where I’m at, my name is Wild Jack
Instrumental
Verse 4
I've been sleeping in a disused boxcar; it's better than the side of the road
I'm hoping for a job in a down town bar, before the weather gets too cold
Got a friend gonna lend my a guitar, I may be a drunk but its funk I play
And when I get the chance, I'm gonna dance, the way I used to yesterday
Bridge 4
So if you're asking where I'm going, let me tell I'm coming back, my name is Wild Jack
Chorus
Hey mister do ya, think I’ve lost it all, no that ain’t true yeah
I'm may look to ya, a down and out alone, don't let it fool ya
Bridge 5
So if you're asking where I'm going, let me tell I'm coming back
Chorus
Hey mister do ya, think I’ve lost it all, no that ain’t true yeah
I'm may look to ya, a down and out alone, don't let it fool ya
Repeat chorus till fade
