Jack Scott
Jack Scott was born on a Friday night
Saturday was bitter come the morning light
Rockin’ and a rollin’ mama burst a stitch
Trucks tearing off the Ambassador bridge
Louis Prima on about Sing Sing Sing
Jack runnin’ wild Got You Under My Skin
Jack Scott kicks Elvis ass
Jack Scott never 2nd class
Jack Scott Jack Scott Jack Scott
Detroit City building cars
Mama gave her little son his first guitar
All the girls would scream shout
When Jack would belt Hank Williams out
Wasn’t long before a million records sold
My True Love was certified gold
Jack Scott kicks Elvis ass
Jack Scott never smooth as glass
Jack Scott Jack Scott Jack Scott
Never Burning Bridges or dyin’ in a crash
Or marrying his cousin or stealing someone’s cash
Taking his life or preaching about the lord
Jack just wrote his songs the lyrics and chords
Like The Way I Walk was a darker side
Touch Jack Scott and he’ll go hog wild
Jack Scott kicks Elvis ass
Jack Scott never Sunday mass
Jack Scott Jack Scott Jack Scott
Jack’s the greatest singer you might not know
Just a couple weeks ago he closed the show
Giovanni Scafone was his given name
Now who would want a greaseball to earn such fame
He’s a rockabilly legend left to the fates
Got the party rockin’ at the pearly gates
Jack Scott kicks Elvis ass
Jack Scott never probably smoked some grass
