John Mellencamp The Big Jack
I know you and you know me We met many years ago In the halls of some ivy covered university Where we both used to go Now we stand outside the Denmark Hotel With Japanese men in their business suits It's midnight, you're talking to some Frenchman About who does what to you know who You want the big jack You want the sky to crack You want something that's going to give you The big jack You want the big jack Hell we all want that You want something that's going to give you The big jack You say you want to go somewhere Where your ideals were much more than luxuries ANd just like some great old paining You set there so smug With your hands between your knees You want the big jack You want the sky to crack You want something that's going to give you The big jack You want the big jack Hell, we all want that You want something that's going to give you a Heart attack So go back down to that Mississippi town Where you come from Have a big time tonight I can still see you in your father's coat On the delta shore That he once owned I want to be your father's coat I want you girl to marry me I want the big jack I want the sky to crack I want something that's going to give me The big jack I want the big jack Hell, we all want that I want something that's going to give me a Heart attack I want the big jack Yeah, we all want that We want something that's going to give us the big jack I want the big jack I want the sky to crack I want something that's going to give me the big jack ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
