Thank You Jack White (For the Fiber-Optic Jesus That You Gave Me) Lyrics

(Let me tell you a story about a very special gift I received from a, from a man that I didn’t know very well. But he brightened up the night and made it one of the great shining moments of our long tour)

(Goes like this:)

Backstage in Detroit
And the room is full of smoke and apprehension
We'd been playing shows
As the warm-up and the band for Beck Hanson
In walks Jack, says, "How'd ya do?" (Howdy!)
Then he handed me this wonderful statue

And I said, "Thank you, Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me"
It shined so bright
That I couldn't help believing it would save me
When I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow
And I said, "Thank you, Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me"

(Here comes the pick)
(Oh, yeah)

Jack and Meg are funny
They got a modern backwards liberal family code
Brother and sister
Playing rock 'n' roll and doing it on the road
I bet that van begin to stink
But then I wonder, oh, what Christ would think

I said, "Thank you, Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me"
It shined so bright
That I couldn't help believing it would save me
And when I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow
And I said, "Thank you, Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me"

(Nice one)
