Jim Beam Black

Jim Beam Black has got my number Jim Beam Black now wants my soul Jim Beam Black will take me under Should I let it take control I’m so lonely since I lost you I’m so lonely since you’re gone Being lonely sure can cost you If you’re drinking to hold on There are days that I still see you There are days I don’t think straight There are days that I still need you Got me drinking way too late Jim Beam Black has got my number Jim Beam Black now wants my soul Jim Beam Black will take me under Should I let it take control It’s been years but I’m still waiting It’s been years I’ve had to fill It’s been years of hesitating All those memories to kill All my friends and family pray now All my friends and family fret All my friends and family say now Jim Beam Black will kill me yet Jim Beam Black has got my number Jim Beam Black now wants my soul Jim Beam Black will take me under Should I let it take control Mdailey 3/8/12 This is not a story of my life but of someone that meant a lot to me.

Agree - there was a tune running through my head as I wrote it. If you read it out loud you might get the cadence and the tune.
