Jack Daniels and Me

V-1: Clenched fists...in a barroom of sorrow Against the bar...thinkin' bout tomorrow Filling my mouth...from a peanut sack Down I went...another shot from Jack V-2: I picked myself up...got me to my feet Head spinning...as I sit on this bar seat I wiped the blood...from my left brow For tonight...Jack really put me down Chorus: All alone...Jack Daniels and me Tonight my friend...had me feeling guilty My wife up and left...said that's your life storie As she left us alone...Jack Daniels and me V-3: Woke up this morning...in a Motel of shame Still holdin' Jack...and my head full of pain My mind flashed back...to the night before Watching her leave...me and Jack on the floor V-4: I rememberd those words...she'd say everyday The drinkin' must stop...or I'm going away Now the last ten years...is all shot to hell As I cling to my friend...on this floor where I fell Chorus: All alone...Jack Daniels and me Last night my friend...had me feeling guilty My wife up and left...said that's your life storie As she left us alone...Jack Daniels and me
