You Don't Know Jack
He asked me for a dollar
I said go get a job
And I turned up my collar
and started walking off
He said I don't blame you
I know what you think
I'll just take your money
to buy another drink
But you don't know Jack
Double shoot
80 proof
On the rocks
until you've lost it all
And you can't go back
To your life
And your kids
And your ex-wife
With just a telephone call
If you think is just a bottle
In an old brown paper sack
Then you don't know Jack
And he showed me a picture
Of two little girls
wearing Easter dresses
Hair done up in curls
He said God bless their mama
She said I couldn't stay
Buddy if you were wondering
how could I throw it all away?
But you don't know Jack
Double shoot
80 proof
On the rocks
until you've lost it all
And you can't go back
To your life
And your kids
And your ex-wife
With just a telephone call
If you think is just a bottle
In an old brown paper sack
Then you don't know Jack
If you never felt a fire
Running through your veins
If you've never seen the devil
Face to face
You don't know Jack
Double shoot
80 proof
On the rocks
until you've lost it all
So brother just be glad
And tonight
Hold your kids
kiss your wife
And when you talk to God
Count up all your blessings
And thank the Good Lord back
You don't know Jack
No you don't know Jack
I said go get a job
And I turned up my collar
and started walking off
He said I don't blame you
I know what you think
I'll just take your money
to buy another drink
But you don't know Jack
Double shoot
80 proof
On the rocks
until you've lost it all
And you can't go back
To your life
And your kids
And your ex-wife
With just a telephone call
If you think is just a bottle
In an old brown paper sack
Then you don't know Jack
And he showed me a picture
Of two little girls
wearing Easter dresses
Hair done up in curls
He said God bless their mama
She said I couldn't stay
Buddy if you were wondering
how could I throw it all away?
But you don't know Jack
Double shoot
80 proof
On the rocks
until you've lost it all
And you can't go back
To your life
And your kids
And your ex-wife
With just a telephone call
If you think is just a bottle
In an old brown paper sack
Then you don't know Jack
If you never felt a fire
Running through your veins
If you've never seen the devil
Face to face
You don't know Jack
Double shoot
80 proof
On the rocks
until you've lost it all
So brother just be glad
And tonight
Hold your kids
kiss your wife
And when you talk to God
Count up all your blessings
And thank the Good Lord back
You don't know Jack
No you don't know Jack
