Jacky Bones, you walked in the saloon
Ready to howl at the moon
You're afraid you can't handle change
I'm not like you, so I must be insane
[Chorus]
Oh, don't you close your eyes
Jacky Bones, don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Jacky Bones, you're looking at your cards
But that hand won't get you very far
You're alright with black, white, and red
But other colors go over your head
[Chorus]
While you're howling at the moon
We might come storming in
To steal your silver spoon
We don't mean you no pain
But we won't let you take our souls away
Jacky Bones, don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Jacky Bones, you're threatened to the core
On our words you're waging war
You're shaking in your boots
You're confused by the way we voice our strange views
[Chorus]
Jacky Bones, don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
