Jack is your neighbor-you see him every day

(He) picks up his paper and he throws you a wave

An ordinary man-seems like a heck of a guy

An adverage day in his adverage life

He hugs his kids and he kisses his wife

Then drives his minivan to his nine-to-five

No onw knew a thing 'til they caught him on tape

Breaking into cars at the YMCA

Chorus:

Did you hear about Jack?

Everybody's talking

It wasn't such a straight and narrow line he was walking

No one can believe he would ever do a thing like that

But then you don't know Jack

Ther's more tho this story that we haven't heard yet

But it seems our friend Jack had some gambling debt

That got out of hand-and he couldn't pay

And his eighty grand a year doesn't cover his bills

When he spends it all on prostitutes and pills

But a desperate man is going to find a way

A wallet lying on the front seat of a car

Couldn't solve all his problems

But it's a good start

Chorus:

Did you hear about Jack?

Everybody's talking

It wasn't such a straight and narrow line he was walking

No one can believe he would ever do a thing like that

But then you don't know Jack

Late last night, Jack went for a drive

He had a revelation down on I-65

He'd be worth more dead

Than he was alive

Did you hear about Jack?

It's all over town

They're not really sure about the way it went down

No one ca believe he would ever do a thing like that

But the you don't know Jack

No you don't know Jack
