Lyrics
I'm baptized in whiskey
I have immersed myself in whiskey
You know I'm distilled and bottled
I am refined and packaged like a distilled spirit
Lynchburg's where I pray
I pray in Lynchburg, possibly the birthplace of Jack Daniel's whiskey
And I'm washed in the cave spring hollow
I am cleansed in the cave spring hollow, associated with the whiskey-making process
I feel like I'm walkin on water
I feel extraordinary, as if I'm walking on water
When I get to the bottom of this black label
My experience with the black label brings me to a profound state
Mama wanted a saint
My mother desired a saintly figure
But Daddy sure loved to drank
My father, however, enjoyed drinking
I was always stuck somewhere between
I'm caught between two worlds, a barstool representing drinking and a pew representing religious life
A barstool and a pew
Struggling between a life of drinking and religious devotion
They both raised me in the way I should go
Both my parents guided me in the right path, but I face a dilemma
Just didn't know there was a fork in the road
Realizing there is a significant decision to make in life
And I fall to my knees as I look up to that 80 proof
Finding solace and prayer in the 80 proof whiskey
And I pray What Would Jack Daniel's Do
Praying and seeking guidance by asking, "What Would Jack Daniel's Do"
Well sometimes I talk to Jesus
Occasionally seeking guidance from Jesus and seeking forgiveness
And ask him for forgiveness
Asking for forgiveness in conversations with Jesus
Spend Sunday mornin's with Jasper
Spending Sunday mornings with Jasper, possibly a friend or mentor for salvation
When I need a little savin
Turning to someone for saving when needed
Mama wanted a saint
My mother wished for a saintly child
But Daddy sure loved to drank
My father, however, had a penchant for drinking
I was always stuck somewhere between
Caught between a life of drinking and religious devotion again
A barstool and a pew
Struggling to find a balance between two conflicting lifestyles
They both raised me in the way I should go
Both parents influenced me in the right direction, but the choice is challenging
Just didn't know there was a fork in the road
Acknowledging a significant decision point in life
And I fall to my knees as I look up to that 80 proof
Finding solace and prayer in the 80 proof whiskey once more
And I pray What Would Jack Daniel's Do
Continuing to seek guidance by asking, "What Would Jack Daniel's Do"
Well it's hard to walk in a straight line
Navigating life is challenging when constantly under the influence
When you've been drinkin all the time
Difficulty in maintaining a straight path due to persistent drinking
Mama wanted a saint
My mother desired a saintly child, but my father favored drinking
But Daddy sure loved to drank
The ongoing struggle between two contrasting lifestyles
I was always stuck somewhere between
Caught between a barstool and a pew once again
A barstool and a pew
Continuing the internal conflict between drinking and religious devotion
They both raised me in the way I should go
Both parental influences guiding me in the right direction, but the decision remains challenging
Just didn't know there was a fork in the road
Realizing the presence of a significant crossroads in life
And I fall to my knees as I look up to that 80 proof
Finding solace and prayer in the 80 proof whiskey yet again
And I pray What Would Jack Daniel's Do
Continuing to seek guidance by asking, "What Would Jack Daniel's Do"
Ohhhhh
Expressing a moment of contemplation or reflection
What Would Jack Daniel's Do
Reiterating the question, "What Would Jack Daniel's Do"
