Easy Come/Easy Go

       
Old Jack is the man     
We all go to see when we need a little advice 
If he aint shootin' pool
We can find him in the backroom
Laughin and rollin dice

Jack says there's only two rules to live by
When all is said and done
Rule one 's easy come and easy go
Rule two is go back to number one

Chorus
Easy come and easy go
Just try to roll along with the flow
Don't even sweat all the small stuff
Big things are gonna keep you busy enough

I went to Old Jack
When I was having some trouble
Payin' off a debt
He handed me some money
And said take this
I just won it on a little bet

I told him I'd fell on real hard times
Didn't know when I could pay him back
He said don't worry if you don't ever pay
Rule one 's good enough for Old Jack
Repeat Chorus

One night I told Jack that my old friend Joe
Was tryin to steal my girl away
I said I know both your rules Jack
But sometimes a man's gotta pay

He said most of the time my two rules work
But in this case its clear to me
That I gotta tell you bout my special rule
I just call it number three (and its)

Hit him high and hit him low
Hit him fast and hit him slow
This don't come under small stuff
But taking your woman is big enough

But listen now - If the big fight aint going good
Or he reaches for a gun
You might want to think about reconsiderin'
Rule number one
Repeat Chorus
