Lyrics
You know that there’s a line you walk sometimes
You are aware that there is a boundary you navigate occasionally
‘tween the future and the Jack
Between the future and consuming Jack Daniel's whiskey
Sometimes you stagger so far, baby
Sometimes, you deviate so much, my dear
That there ain’t no coming back
That there's no return from that state
I’ve been tryin’ so hard, sugar
I've been making a considerable effort, sweetheart
Just to keep my thoughts on you
Just to focus my thoughts on you
But the devil reels me in and now
But temptation (devil) pulls me in, and now
I cannot construe, now sister
I'm unable to understand, now, sister
I’ve been drinkin’ whiskey, baby
I've been indulging in whiskey, darling
Runnin’ through my head
It's running through my mind
I’ve been thinking risky, baby
I've been contemplating risky thoughts, baby
Like the living dead
Like a person who is spiritually dead
I’ve been drinkin’ whiskey, baby
I've been consuming whiskey, baby
It’s got me seeing red
It has me seeing red, possibly indicating intense emotions
I’ve been drunk,
I've been drunk, conveying a prolonged state
I’ve been drunk
Reiteration of being in a drunk state for an unspecified duration
Since I don’t know when
Since an unknown point in time
You’re saying that you’ve got the answers, baby
You claim to possess solutions, my dear
You can take away these blues
You can alleviate my sadness
I’ve been running around this town
I've been roaming this town
But the truth I can’t subdue
But I can't suppress the truth
You can break the bottle, baby
You can break the whiskey bottle, darling
You can go on the attack
You can become aggressive
But I need the sweet, sweet sugar that
But I need the sweet, sweet affection that
Keeps me coming back, now sister
Makes me keep returning, now, sister
I’ve been drinkin’ whiskey, baby
I've been consuming whiskey, darling
Runnin’ through my head
It's running through my mind
I’ve been thinking risky, baby
I've been contemplating risky thoughts, baby
Like the living dead
Like a person who is spiritually dead
I’ve been drinkin’ whiskey, baby
I've been consuming whiskey, baby
It’s got me seeing red
It has me seeing red, possibly indicating intense emotions
I’ve been drunk, I’ve been drunk
I've been drunk, conveying a prolonged state
Since I don’t know when
Reiteration of being in a drunk state for an unspecified duration
On my way – to discover
I'm on my way to explore
Held in sway – like a lover
Ensnared, like a lover
All my life - I’ve been blinded
All my life, I've been oblivious
Like a knife – I’m reminded
Similar to a sharp knife, I'm reminded
I can’t bind it
I can't control it
Lost behind it
Lost in it
It’s got a spell on me
It has a captivating influence on me
