[Verse 1]
I run an old saloon in the wild west
I know this cowboy, they call him Jack
When he was small, his dad drank every night
But he loved young Jack with all his life
Dad took a bounty, rode into the dust
Never came back, no word, no trace
Uncle Cole took him and his ma in
Fed them, kept them warm, year by year
Taught him to ride horses, taught him to shoot straight
Nineteen quiet years in that dusty town
[Pre-Chorus]
Raiders stormed the town, guns fired everywhere
Uncle and his ma died, his world fell apart
He screamed like a devil, full of pain and hate
Wore uncle’s old coat, rode a black strong horse
Bought the best pistol, left for revenge
Sheriff White begged him, don’t waste your life
[Chorus 1]
Jack, Jack, scars all over your body
Jack, Jack, walking tough and steady
Jack, Jack, alone in the wild west
Jack, Jack, chasing hate without rest
[Chorus 2]
Jack, Jack, still got a soft heart
Jack, Jack, tired of all the dark
Jack, Jack, longing for the sea
Jack, Jack, wanna be free
[Verse 2]
He met a good girl, loved her with all his heart
Wanted to settle down, lay down his gun
Crow’s men killed her, took all his warmth
No more love for him, locked his heart tight
Twenty long years, he hunted Crow’s men nonstop
Twice he got shot, almost died twice
He jumped into cold river, barely survived
No trap can fool him, he’s sharp and hard
Folks called him devil, feared him everywhere
He didn’t care at all, just kept moving on
[Pre-Chorus]
Raiders stormed the town, guns fired everywhere
Uncle and his ma died, his world fell apart
He screamed like a devil, full of pain and hate
Wore uncle’s old coat, rode a black strong horse
Bought the best pistol, left for revenge
Sheriff White begged him, don’t waste your life
[Chorus 1]
Jack, Jack, scars all over your body
Jack, Jack, walking tough and steady
Jack, Jack, alone in the wild west
Jack, Jack, chasing hate without rest
[Chorus 2]
Jack, Jack, still got a soft heart
Jack, Jack, tired of all the dark
Jack, Jack, longing for the sea
Jack, Jack, wanna be free
[Bridge]
He came to my saloon, gentle and talkative
Not cold or cruel, not like the rumors
I asked him, what’s next when bad guys are gone
He laughed and said he met a woman like Belle Starr
She said the sea’s home for a roaming man
Wanna be a sailor, that’s his simple plan
He got dead drunk that night, slept till morning light
Dawn came, he rode off, kept chasing his target
Last time he showed up, blood all over his clothes
Shouted for strong wine, Crow’s men are almost gone
[Chorus 2]
Jack, Jack, still got a soft heart
Jack, Jack, tired of all the dark
Jack, Jack, longing for the sea
Jack, Jack, wanna be free
[Outro]
No one saw Jack again, nowhere to be found
No news of Crow, no sound at all
Some say they died together in the dust
Some say he sailed the sea, lived the life he loved
West wind blows, his story never ends
