Couple Of Shadows - Smiling Jack Lyrics

Today he rose with confidence
He'd leave behind
That certain scent
The one that made him
Quiet and ill
No more poisoning the well
He'll take no more
His life's been hell
He's wised up
And moving out
He's had enough
He ain't coming back
Packed his things
In a gunnysack
There he goes
It's Smiling Jack
He won't come back
For any price
It took a toll
Still he played nice
There he goes
It's Smiling Jack
He closed the door behind
Stepped into another time
And found the world
Laid at his feet
Everybody loved his happy face
In turn they gave him a place
To rest his bones
For awhile
He's had enough
Ain't coming back
Packed his things
In a gunnysack
There he goes
It's Smiling Jack
He won't come back
For any price
It took a toll
Still he played nice
There he goes
It's Smiling Jack
They used to throw
His head around
It made him mad
He wore a frown
So afraid
He wouldn't get it back
Today his turn to hold the knife
It felt so good
To take that life
There's a fire inside
Smiling Jack
He's had enough
He ain't coming back
Packed his things
In a gunnysack
There he goes
It's smiling jack
He won't come back
For any price
It took a toll
Still he played nice
There he goes
It's Smiling Jack
On he goes
It's Smiling Jack
Away he goes
It's Smiling Jack
There he goes
It's Smiling Jack
Jack!
Jack!
Jack!
Jack!
Jack!
Jack!
