Andrew Nordine - Hey Jackie Lyrics

Down in Georgia
About a hundred years ago
Dark skinned family
Didn't know no one else like them
Mama raised him
Her and five kids on their own
They went to California
And that boy became a man you might remember

Hey Jackie, you better turn the other cheek
Hey Jackie, stand your ground you better not back down

Up in Brooklyn
There was a man with a plan and a baseball team
He was searching
For the right man who shared his dream

Takes more courage not to fight
To absorb the blows even when you know you're right
Are you gonna be man enough to meet the hate with love
And do you think you can change the world?

You better not back down
No, we won't back down
We won't back down
