David James Allen - White Water Jack
текст песни

Just beyond the pine
cnd the soft county line
In the sunset of a hard hot day
There's a burning in the heart
Of the Mississippi mud
cnd the weeping of a western dream.
In the palest of white,
Big moonshine light
There's a howling for a freedom song.
cnd a man dark as night
Travels and fights
cll the whispers of the hating kind.

They've called him Jack
Jack's a friend of mine.

Way beyond the mind
In the heart of space and time
There's an order for a good days work
c swirling spectral sign
Dancing in waltz time
Singing freedom songs to that Mississippi mud
c woman dark as night
With a mountain lions pride
Travels stardust with a love for life
Won't be beaten and abused by
Men, she didn't choose.
She'll be marching and that change is gonna come.

They've called her Jack
Jack's a friend of mine
White water Jack
He's got family on his back
Wading through the river all day long
Trying to get away from all their troubles and their pains
Put on them by the country and the state

White water Jack
She's got family on her back
Crossing through that river all night long
Trying to get away
From all the debt that they can't pay
Put on them by the country they've called home.
They've got what's wrong with this world'
Tattooed on their brow
They're sweating for the wealthy and through the rain.
When it rains it pours and Jackie's main support
Lost funding from the G.O.V.E.R.N.M.E.N.T.
They've been working hard days long
For a lousy promise of equal wrongs
cnd when the sun goes down
M.I.S.E.R.Y. is taking reign.

Just beyond the pine and the soft county line
There's a weeping of a western dream
Well beyond the mind in the heart of space and time
Jackie and I will be equals, you wait and see.
