Jack and Jesus

[Verse 1]
I woke up again this mornin' like so many times before
Tryin' to make my getaway out of some stranger's door
I climb into my truck and wonder how it got in her drive
And I thank the Lord that I'm alive

[Verse 2]
There's a freight train runnin' through my head
And I can taste last night's cigarettes
And this coffee seems offer no relief
From all the stuff I put inside
The caffeine, whiskey, and all the lies
Can't fill this emptiness in me

[Chorus]
Whiskey helps to ease the pain
Takes away the stress and strain
Doesn't give a damn where it leaves us
I know wrong and I know right
No matter how hard I try
The Devil always seems to know my weakness
That's too much Jack and not enough Jesus

[Verse 3]
Well, that Baptist church is ringin' its bells
And it makes me feel even more like hell
'Cause it's been a month of Sundays since I've been
They'll probably just all stare at me
And I'd have to fight the urge to leave
Go back to that bar and drink again

[Chorus]
Whiskey helps to ease the pain
Takes away the stress and strain
Doesn't give a damn where it leaves us
I know wrong and I know right
No matter how hard I try
The Devil always seems to know my weakness
That's too much Jack and not enough Jesus

[Chorus]
Whiskey helps to ease the pain
Takes away the stress and strain
Doesn't give a damn where it leaves us
I know wrong and I know right
No matter how hard I try
The Devil always seems to know my weakness
That's too much Jack and not enough Jesus
Way too much Jack and not enough Jesus

[Outro]
I woke up again this mornin' like so many times before
Tryin' to make my getaway out of some stranger's door
