Joan Osborne - Get Up Jack lyrics

Get up Jack, crack your head

Sweatin' whiskey in my bed

Ain't you heard a word I've said

Get up Jack

Get up Jack, read the news

See if you can tie your shoes

Find another friend to use

Get up Jack

CHORUS

And come down, come down

Long enough to see my face

Come down, come down

Get up Jack, run and hide

Tell us all how hard you tried

Burn your bridges, drown your pride

Get up Jack

Get up Jack, crack your head

Been so long since I fed

You ain't heard a word I've said

Get up Jack

REPEAT CHORUS

If I came in a bottle...

It was a mighty good year

How come I don't get you high

How come you're still here

God, you were so beautiful

I used to watch you sleep

God, God so beautiful

Too much promise to keep

Get up Jack, go to hell

Baby I can taste the smell

Wish I didn't, truth to tell

Know you, know you so damn well

Get up Jack
