Old Jack was a millionaire And a lot of good it did him He died of an overdose Just like a one I know So maybe when you get a lot You've got a lot of nothing Maybe he can tell us but You can't talk to him
Somethings (I can't get used to)
By the time I got home You were gone already It makes me a little bit nervous You'll see him in vest beneath me And I've gone tied my hands And no time to lose Whenever I make a plan Nothing turns out the way it's supposed to.
Somethings (I can't get used to)
Oh my but he got a chill It was on Christmas Eve Should've been a fine day but It was not meant to be Or maybe he wanted it that way That's the only thing she could think of And when I turned him over He was dead as he could be
Somethings (I can't get used to)
