My Old Jacknife Lyrics

My old jacknife is always on me
And everytime they tie me up I cut myself loose, I cut myself loose.
I walk alone, my hand upon it
And everytime I slash a tire I cut myself loose, I cut myself loose

...
Carve the name of someone else...
No one knows about me
No one knows about me

Always sharp and always ready
And everytime they tie me down I cut myself loose
I cut myself loose.
I hide it away somewhere inside me
But if it gets too tight I cut myself loose
I cut myself loose.

...
Carve the name of someone else...
No one cares about me
No one cares about me

Awesomest song! The parts you're missing sound to me like:

Angels reaching down from up high place their blessings on it Carve the name of someone else i love cause no one cares about me Demons reaching up from below hurl their curses at it

Agreed on the changes. Maybe the jacknife is a metaphor for wit? Being able to talk yourself out of bad situations.

Hi guys, you're almost right.

Here are the actual lyrics:

"angels reaching down from ON high place their blessings on it and i'll carve the name of someone else ALL OVER TOWN"

also: "I'll hide it away somewhere inside me" is actually "I'll hide away somewhere inside me"
