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
