So often we learn not to express our emotions when growing up; then all of a sudden we're adults and we get into relationships and we have to learn to feel again. Well, that's basically what this song is about. Written in 1991 when I was 23.

Story behind the song
Jack = Jack Daniels. Michael Ness is the front man for the group "Social Distortion" (no, I wasn't referring to the Monkees Michael Nesmith here; although I do think he's an under-rated talent ;-)
Lyrics
Jack and me and Michael Ness
Got ourselves in a terrible mess
Singing songs by Neil Young
Wondering where my life has gone
Well I was born not to cry
She was born
Not to ask why
Everyday I love her more
Never know just what's in store
Everyday brings a new surprise
Fears and beers and beautiful sighs
She was born not to cry
And I was born
Not to ask why
Don't get me wrong I'm not depressed
I'm a quarter wise and half-way blessed
Trying to see without any eyes
Wanting your mind
It's too late for goodbyes
Well I was born not to cry
She was born
Not to ask why
If I had a clue I could rule my days
But I have none and the darkness stays
Don't get me wrong the dark's alright
As long as you're walking towards the light
We can make it if you hold my hand
You could make it if you turned and ran
You don't need me and that's alright
I don't need you
Let me stay the night
We were born not to cry
And we were born
Not to ask why
