Heart of Gold (Cover)
Tommy had a heart of gold
But this a different story than the one his partner told
I'm a tell the real one
Tommy didnt have a gun so he had to steal one
At first it was all in fun till he had to kill one
See Jack loaned him a sack of bread
Tommy lost a bet he placed on a horse named No Regrets
Before the race Tommy gave Jack his entire check
And said please this is my last chance to come correct
I always knew he had a gambling problem
I recall him pawning a necklace that his grandmother got him
Jack wasnt the type of guy that would freefully spot em
I thought he would get to him first but it was Tommy who shot him
Left him dead took back his dough and fled somewhere up in Boston
He was caught 4 days later that was the nail in his coffin
Now hes upstate in a prison cell
I visit there often
I think about his addiction and what it had cost em
Jackie had a heart of gold
But this is a different story than the one her husband told
I'm a tell the real one, Everybody in the streets
Said that she was real fun
You want to meet a cheater well I'm about to reveal one
Jackie snuck out of the house while her husband slept
She would hit the local strip every night she crept
With different men she wouldn't say it by her own admission
It was very clear that she was starving for affection
By 6 a.m. she'd be sleeping next to her husband
Until the faithful day George got a call from his cousin
He said he was at the bar and saw Jackie there
With men groping her legs putting their fingers through her hair
George hung up the phone and sat silent on the bed
Pulled a gun from under the mattress and aimed it at Jackie's head
Cocked it back then Jackie Spoke and this is what she said
If your not gonna give me love I'd rather be dead
But this a different story than the one his partner told
I'm a tell the real one
Tommy didnt have a gun so he had to steal one
At first it was all in fun till he had to kill one
See Jack loaned him a sack of bread
Tommy lost a bet he placed on a horse named No Regrets
Before the race Tommy gave Jack his entire check
And said please this is my last chance to come correct
I always knew he had a gambling problem
I recall him pawning a necklace that his grandmother got him
Jack wasnt the type of guy that would freefully spot em
I thought he would get to him first but it was Tommy who shot him
Left him dead took back his dough and fled somewhere up in Boston
He was caught 4 days later that was the nail in his coffin
Now hes upstate in a prison cell
