You Don't Know Jack

He asked me for a dollar

I said go get a job

I turned up my collar

And started walking on

He said I don't blame you

I know what you think

I 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 keep go back

To your life

And your kids

And your ex-wife

With just a telephone card

If you think it's just a bottle

In an old brown paper sack

Then you don't know Jack

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

Well buddy if you were wondering

How could I throw it all away

You don't know Jack

Double shoot

80 proof

On the rocks

Until you've lost it all

And you keep go back

To your life

And your kids

And your ex-wife

With just a telephone card

If you think it's 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 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
