JACK IN COMMON
(Kurt Fortmeyer/Bo Thomas)
I’d just finished up my meal at the bayside bar and grill
I asked the bartender for another cold beer the talk was all rods and reels
Man you coulda heard a fish hook drop when she stepped in off that yacht
She ordered up whiskey on the rocks I thought I’d take a shot

This little voice said forget it man
She’s out of your league you don’t stand a chance

But it’s not like we ain’t got Jack in common
So I don’t think there’s gonna be a problem
We might be different as can be
But thanks to Lynchburg Tennessee
It’s not like we ain’t got Jack in common

I could tell she was ready to shoot me down I said we’re not from the same side of town
But I’m sure we could find some middle ground How ‘bout I buy this round
She looked relieved and said that’s fine I thought you’d be handing me some dumb line
Like how my legs must really be tired From running through your mind

We laughed and joked about our roots
She was a debutante I went to turkey shoots

But it’s not like we ain’t got Jack in common
So I don’t there’s gonna be a problem
We might be different as can be
But thanks to Lynchburg Tennessee
It’s not like we ain’t got Jack in common

I’ve heard opposites attract now I have no doubts
She took me by the hand as we walked out (and she said)

It’s not like we ain’t got Jack in common
So I don’t there’s gonna be a problem
We might be different as can be
But thanks to Lynchburg Tennessee
It’s not like we ain’t got Jack in common
No it’s not like we ain’t got Jack in common
