Jack and Ginger

Well, me and Jack Ginger hanging at the bar
Smoking cigarettes like they were cigars
And dancing the good old country night away
And it wasn’t till just bout a quarter to three
Ginger turns around and looks at me and she asks me where
Jack has been

Don’t you go wasting your time looking for Jack in Kansas
He left his common sense in Tennessee
Don’t you go wasting your time trying to talk sense to the senseless
You would be better off
Talking to a tree

Well I hit the road up in Nebraska
Bought myself a cowboy hat at a gas station
Told em “Keep the change.”
Cause I be making my way on up to Dakota
Beating the sky and head in the shower
Cause I been sweating man

Don’t you go wasting your time looking for Jack in Kansas
He left his common sense in Tennessee
Don’t you go wasting your time trying to talk sense to the senseless
You would be better off
Falling asleep

Well I’ll be running down south till the road turns red
A mourning in Georgia put a soul to rest
Up on Heavenly Hill
Yeah, when mama starts calling
You know where we’ll be
Talking bout God on a South Georgia beach
Singing healing songs

Don’t you go wasting your time looking for Jack in Kansas
He left his common sense in Tennessee
Don’t you go wasting your time trying to talk sense to the senseless
You would be better off
Talking to a tree
