Lyrics
He and Jack
By: Mack Bailey 2005
A young man on a journey
Not sure of where he?s going
Got one friend by his side
Who?s never let him down
At sunrise on his tower
Somewhere in Colorado
He puts the bottle to his lips
And heads back in to town
He ain?t lost, he ain?t found
Just somewhere in the middle
He?s a wild spirit bound to roam
And at the end of the day
As he and Jack are talking
I wonder where his heart calls home
He?s seen both sides of a jail cell
And sometimes they?re the same
A slammin? door is just
A slammin? door
And all of life?s tough lessons
Are justified each day
It never seems to cross his mind
There could be another way
He ain?t lost, he ain?t found
Just somewhere in the middle
He?s a wild spirit bound to roam
And at the end of the day
As he and Jack are talking
I wonder where his heart calls home
And halfway cross the country
There?s a bedroom light still burning
It was the hardest thing to say
That this house ain?t your home
As months turn into years
And as the tunnel light gets dim
It seems the hole in this soul
Will never get filled in
Now I?ve always been a fixer
A builder and a mender
But this time I?ve been told
It?s got to be his own
Sometimes the feelings helpless
Some nights go on forever
But always know deep in your heart
I?ll always love you son
He ain?t lost, he ain?t found
Just somewhere in the middle
He?s a wild spirit bound to roam
And at the end of the day
As he and Jack are talking
I wonder where his heart calls home
