Jack and Jesus

I woke up again this morning like so many times before

Tryin' to make my getaway out of some stranger's door

Climbed into my truck, wonder how it got in her drive

And I thank the Lord that I'm alive

There's a freight train runnin' through my head and I can taste last night's cigarettes

And this coffee seems to offer no relief

From all the stuff I put insidethe caffeine, whiskey and all the lies can't fill this emptiness in me

But whiskey helps to ease the pain

Takes away the stress and strain

It doesn't give a damn where it leaves us

I know wrong and I know right

No matter how hard I try, the devil always seems to know my weakness

That's too much Jack and not enough Jesus

That Baptist church is ringing its bells

And it makes me feel even more like hell

Cause it's been a month of Sundays since I've been.

They'll probably all just stare at me and I'd have to fight the urge to leave

And go back to that bar and drink again.

But whiskey helps to ease the pain

Takes away the stress and strain

It doesn't give a damn where it leaves us

I know wrong and I know right

No matter how hard I try, the devil always seems to know my weakness

That's too much Jack and not enough Jesus

Repeat Chorus

I woke up again this morning like so many times before

Tryin' to make my getaway out of some stranger's door
