You Don’t Know Jack

[Verse 1]
He asked me for a dollar, I said "Go get a job"
I turned up my collar, started walkin' off
He said, "I don't blame you, I know what you think
I'd just spend your money to buy another drink"

[Chorus]
But you don't know Jack
Double shot, eighty proof, on the rocks
'Til 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 it's just a bottle
In that old brown paper sack
You don't know Jack

[Verse 2]
He showed me a picture of two little girls
Wearin' Easter dresses, hair done up in curls
He said, "God bless their mama, she said I couldn't stay
And honey, if you're wonderin' how could I throw it all away"

[Chorus]
You don't know Jack
Double shot, eighty proof, on the rocks
'Til 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 it's just a bottle
In that old brown paper sack
You don't know Jack

[Bridge]
If you've never felt a fire
Runnin' through your veins
If you've never seen the devil
Face-to-face

[Chorus]
You don't know Jack
Double shot, eighty proof, on the rocks
'Til you've lost it all
So darlin', just be glad
And tonight, hold your kids and your husband tight
And when you talk to God
Count up all your blessings
And thank the good Lord that
You don't know Jack
You don't know Jack
