Shot of Jack Daniels
Whiskey and Resilience: A Country Anthem of Life's Rollercoaster
Lyrics
When I woke up in the morning I was already late for work
Waking up late for work and starting the day behind schedule
I only got one sip of coffee and the rest poured down my shirt
Having a mishap with coffee, symbolizing early morning challenges
Man I was strugglin', but I was still hustlin' to go make that pay
Struggling but still working hard to earn a living
And I thought I had it figured, I'd erased most of my doubt
Thinking he had life figured out, overcoming doubts
Until I walked up to my car to find the air was all let out
Discovering a flat tire, facing unexpected obstacles
Of my front tire, like life conspired, to ruin this day
Life seemingly conspiring to ruin the day
Well I knew where this was headed
Awareness of the negative direction of events
And the only thing that I could think to say, was hey
Expressing frustration and seeking solace
I need a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro smoke
Desiring a shot of Jack Daniels and a cigarette to cope
I need a big screen TV and a damn fine joke
Wishing for simple pleasures like a big screen TV and humor
A Red-headed, long-legged girl on my knee
Longing for companionship, described as a red-headed girl
Who tells me that she wants to do whatever I please
Desiring a partner who is willing to please
You know I don't need no doctor with no fine antidote
Rejecting conventional solutions, not needing a doctor
I need a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro Smoke
Reiterating the need for a shot of Jack Daniels and a smoke
Well I tried to shake it off me, tried to turn this mess around
Attempting to shake off problems but facing continuous challenges
But then my phone it got to buzzin' I could tell just by the sound
Receiving a call from a partner, adding to the day's difficulties
It was my baby, said I was lazy, and she'd packed up her things
Being criticized by the partner for laziness and facing a breakup
Well I tried the voice of reason and I begged her not to go
Pleading with the partner not to leave
But before I even finished I could hear that dial tone
Hearing the partner hang up, indicating the end of the relationship
That meant she'd hung up, man don't that sum up what this day will bring
Realizing the inevitable breakup and its impact on the day
Ain't no use in tryin' to fight it
Accepting the situation without resistance
It was over 'fore I stepped into the ring, so I'll just sing
Choosing to sing as a coping mechanism
I need a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro smoke
Reiterating the need for a shot of Jack Daniels and a smoke
I need a big screen TV and a damn fine joke
Expressing the desire for entertainment and humor
A Red-headed, long-legged girl on my knee
Desiring companionship with a red-headed girl
Who tells me that she wants to do whatever I please
Seeking a partner willing to fulfill desires
You know I don't need no doctor with no fine antidote
Rejecting medical solutions once again
I need a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro Smoke
Emphasizing the need for a shot of Jack Daniels and a smoke
Well as soon as I got up I should've climbed back into bed
Reflecting on the day and realizing its challenges
I should've known right from the start that I was in over my head
Acknowledging mistakes and the overwhelming situation
Ain't gonna start a cussin' or a pullin' out my hair
Choosing not to react negatively to the situation
I'm gonna ride it out till I can get me somewhere
Determined to endure the challenges until finding relief
To get a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro smoke
Reiterating the need for a shot of Jack Daniels and a smoke
With a big screen TV and a damn fine joke
Expressing the desire for entertainment and humor
A Red-headed, long-legged girl on my knee
Desiring companionship with a red-headed girl
Who tells me that she wants to do whatever I please
Seeking a partner willing to fulfill desires
You know I don't need no doctor with no fine antidote
Rejecting medical solutions once again
I need a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro Smoke
Emphasizing the need for a shot of Jack Daniels and a smoke
I need a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro Smoke
Reiterating the need for a shot of Jack Daniels and a smoke
Give me a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro Smoke
Summarizing the desire for comfort in the form of alcohol and smoking
