Aaron Smith - Jack Evans Lyrics

Lyrics Jack Evans - Aaron Smith



When Jack Evans turned up missing
Everybody thought they knew
He′s just messing in the woods
With that Indian girl
Lots of soldiers had a girl or two
These boys think they're falling in love
Old dogs know it ain′t true
There ain't no future
In a loving a woman like that
She's just there to get you through
She′s just there to get you through
These boys just play at love
Sell promises
With a silver tongue
A stolen kiss
A burning glance
Standard issue
Cavalry romance
When two horses turned up gone
We took it as a clue
This wasn′t just a quick trip to the woods
This was something new
This was something new
And I got nothing against Jack Evans
But there are things you just don't do
He knew what we do to horse thieves
He knew we′d shoot him right through
Shoot that woman too
These boys just play at love
Sell promises
With a silver tongue
A stolen kiss
A burning glance
Standard issue
Cavalry romance
There were six we come to find
There were six who left that night
That fool took that girl's whole family
They left before the light
Left before the light
He′s up north in those hills
I guess he was there a couple years past
A deserter and a half breed .. .
What kind of life is that?
What kind of life you gonna have?
Come on
