Στίχοι

[Verse 1]
Just out Monday
Run into a friend
Down the street, down the street
Where I live
[Verse 2]
Ah, ah, sad things begin
I could feel from within
From the message, from the message
Ah, he had to give
[Verse 3]
'Bout a buddy of mine
Run out of time, his life run out of time
Somebody past noon shot across the room
And now the man no longer lives
[Verse 4]
Too bad about him
Too sad about him
Don't get me wrong, the man is gone
It is a wonder he lived this long
[Chorus]
Up in the city, they called him Boss Jack
But down-home, he was a alley cat
I didn't care nothing 'bout bein' black
Ah, Billy Jack
[Verse 5]
Ah, can't be no fun, can't be no fun
To be shot, shot with a handgun
Body sprawled out, you, without a doubt
Running people out, there on the floor
[Verse 6]
Ah, ah, sad, bloody mess
Shot all up in his chest, shot in the chest
One-sided duel, gun and a fool
What a way to go
[Chorus]
Up in the city, they called him Boss Jack
But down-home, he was a alley cat
I didn't care nothing 'bout bein' black
Oh, Billy Jack
