You Don't Know Jack

He asked me for a dollar, I said go get a job
I turned up my collar and started walking off
He said I don't blame you, I know what you think
I just spend your money to buy another drink
But you don't know jack
Double shot, 80 proof, on the rocks
Until you've lost it all
And you can't go back
To your life, and your kids, and your ex-wife
With just a telephone call
If you think it's just a bottle
In an old brown paper sack
You don't know jack
He showed me a picture of two little girls
Wearin' Easter dresses, hair done up in curls
He said God bless their mama, she said I couldn't stay
Buddy if you're wonderin' how could I throw it all away
But you don't know jack
Double shot, 80 proof, on the rocks
Until you've lost it all
And you can't go back
To your life, and your kids, and your ex-wife
With just a telephone call
If you think it's just a bottle
In an old brown paper sack
You don't know jack
If you've never felt a fire running through your veins
If you've never seen the devil face to face
You don't know jack
Double shot, 80 proof, on the rocks
Until you've lost it all
So brother just be glad
And tonight hold your kids, kiss your wife
And when you talk to God
Count up all your blessings
And thank the good Lord that
You don't know jack
You don't know jack
