Ballad of Jack
Found myself in a gutter
I couldn't get up
Swimming in muddy water
Wondering when it's gonna stop
I don't need no sugar
I don't need no milk
I just want my coffee black
And a bottle of Jack
After a bottle of Jack
There is no turning back
Famous last words
Before I was thrown out the bar
Then I thought I heard
The siren of a police car
I woke up next morning
They took my money and guitar
I was lying on the floor of a prison cell
In my head ringing a hell's bell
After a bottle of Jack
There was no turning back
Come soon, the night
Come, neon light
I'm on my way
I cannot stay
I'm gonna sing my song
The one I wrote two days back
And I think I'll call it
The Ballad of Jack
After a bottle of Jack
There is no turning back
That was my Ballad of Jack
I couldn't get up
Swimming in muddy water
Wondering when it's gonna stop
I don't need no sugar
I don't need no milk
I just want my coffee black
And a bottle of Jack
After a bottle of Jack
There is no turning back
Famous last words
Before I was thrown out the bar
Then I thought I heard
The siren of a police car
I woke up next morning
They took my money and guitar
I was lying on the floor of a prison cell
In my head ringing a hell's bell
After a bottle of Jack
There was no turning back
Come soon, the night
Come, neon light
I'm on my way
I cannot stay
I'm gonna sing my song
The one I wrote two days back
And I think I'll call it
The Ballad of Jack
After a bottle of Jack
There is no turning back
That was my Ballad of Jack
