You Think You Know Somebody by Todd Snider
You Think You Know Somebody
Intro: Bm Asus2 (x02200) GaddA (32023x) (the song is 6\8 or 3\4)
Chorus:
Bm GaddA
You think you know somebody.
Bm GaddA
You think they know you.
Bm GaddA
You think you know somebody.
A
But man you never do.
D
Jackie used to live three blocks away from me.
D
We used to throw a baseball and climb his old oak tree.
GaddA
We would smoke his daddy's cigarettes behind the picket fence.
D A
We swore that we would always be the best of friends.
Bm Em
We would sit on the curb and talk on summer nights,
GaddA A
'Til Jackie's daddy called him, and he took off like a light.
Fridays were all the same our high school senior year.
We hung out by the river and drank Black Label beer.
We listened to the stories with all our old friends.
And sometimes took a toke or two down by the river bend.
I remember I promised Jackie I'd drive him home on Friday night.
He said, "Go on without me. Buddy, I'll be alright."
We went off to college to start our Freshman year.
I went to a school about an hour away from here.
But you know Jackie, He took off, went to college out of state.
He used to call me all the time and tell me it was great.
He said, "I'm coming home for Christmas. I hope you'll do the same."
He said that he would come, but Jackie never came.
Chorus:
When Jackie got married, I was his best man.
He moved back to town. We were neighbors again.
I met a woman. I got married, too.
Our families got together every Sunday afternoon.
His boy and my boy they would talk on summer nights.
'Til Jackie called his boy home, and he took off like a light.
Last night I saw the flashing lights, and I quickly rushed outside.
A neighbor lady told me Jackie's youngest boy had died.
I was shocked to see the police had Jackie handcuffed in the car.
Until this morning's paper told me Jackie'd gone too far.
Now they say Jackie's not the only one to blame.
Battered children almost always grow up to do the same.

We hung out at the river, drank Black Label beer
And we would listen to the Stones with all of our old friends
Maybe sneak a toke or two down where the river bends
I remember how I said I'd drive him home one Friday night
Well he said, "Go on without me, buddy, I'll be alright."
We went off to college to start our Freshman year
Well I went off to school about an hour away from here
But you know Jackie, he took off, went to college out of state
He used to call me all the time, he used to tell me it was great
He said, "I'm coming home for Christmas, and I hope you'll do the same"
He’d say that he was comin, but Jackie never came
Chorus:
The night that he got married, well I was his best man
He™s moved back to town and now we™re neighbors again
I™ve since found myself a wife, so now I™m married, too
Our families get together every Sunday afternoon
His boy and my boy they sit out and talk at night
'Til Jackie calls for his boy, and he takes off like a light
Last night I saw the flashing lights, and quickly ran outside
A neighbor lady told me that Jackie's youngest boy had died
And I was shocked to see the cops had Jackie handcuffed in the car
‘Til this morning's paper told me that Jackie'd gone too far
And now they™re sayin™ Jackie, he ain™t the only one to blame
‘Cause battered children, they almost always grow up to do the same
