Don’t Forget My Name

When you're born into a world as vast as this one
Just another minnow inching up the stream
You can vanish and the place don’t even miss one
And yet some fish continue to dream

Now, there are those who know the wisdom of surrender
I myself don't have the good sense to say when
No, I come out from under my rock and make for the light again

I figure what's another scar
The occasional disgrace
When you’re angling for the hall of fame
Do with me what you will
But, mister, don't forget my name

When you're colder than an ice floe in December
And they're giving you the hook you have a choice
You can go quietly like no one they'll remember
Or you can finish at the top of your voice

And really what's another scar
Or the occasional disgrace
That's just the consequence of playing the game
Do with me what you will
But, mister, don't forget my name

Mark my words, learn this face
I’ll be back here to claim my place
I can take anything you give
As long as I got love I’ll live

What's another scar
Or the occasional disgrace
I’m gonna have the last laugh all the same
Do with me what you will
But, mister, don't forget my name

It's Jack
