Während der Wind durch die Bäume pfiff und das Laub in Erregung versetzte saß Jack auf der Motorhaube seines Geländewagens. In den Händen hielt er seine custom-made Country-Akustikgitarre der Marke Takamine. Der Glockenturm zeigte Mitternacht an und die Umgebung verlor sich in Jacks Wahrnehmung. Es gab keine Existenz. Es gab keine Materie. Es gab nur ihn und die Musik. Schwermütige Klänge drangen durch das Dunkel und eine Stimme machte sich bemerkbar:
Packed up my guitar and a suitcase full of clothes
And I went looking for a better place to hide
Ride across the border in a broken down humvee
With a bottle and a rifle in my hands
On and on and on and on the miles stretch for hours
The radio keeps spitting out the tunes
Every other song is just another tired rhythm
Another tired lover's tune
It's a long, long way back to Alabama
Where I come from, where I've been
It's a long, long way back to Alabama
But I promise I will see you again
Through the ice and fog this morning the sun is coming up
I'm standing on the shores of the Hudson Bay
Over glass fired violet, silence, silence
Calling up the day
And every man is an island, an island
In his own special way
There's a white ghost out on the water, the water
With one good song and nothing else to say
It's a long, long way back to Alabama
Where I come from, where I've been
It's a long, long way back to Alabama
But I promise I will see you again
In heaven
Jacks Gesicht wirkte schmerzverzerrt und dennoch glücklich. Wo war bloß sein Platz in dieser Welt? Jack wusste diese Frage nicht zu beantworten. Er tat das, was er immer tat: Sich niemals in Verbindlichkeiten begeben...
