Ode to Jack and Hunter

Here’s to all the mad ones
the ones dangerous to know

The ones who smoke
that drink , and fuck
and always have a go

Here’s to the reckless ones
who never play it safe
and that live life to the hilt

Here’s to all the mad ones
the ones dangerous to know

The ones with all the balls
the ones without regret
who live for thrills and spills

Here’s to you renegades
I salute you
I salute you
