Jack Lyrics by Silverada

One, two
One, two, three

Well, girl, since you’ve left me I’ve just been kickin’ around this place
Guess you could call it my fall from grace but it ain’t half bad
I strung up the six string I kept hidden under your side of the bed
I jammed along with the Grateful Dead loud as hell

I’m drinkin’ 7 and 7s, I’m playin’ solitaire
I found my granddaddy’s hat and these real cool glasses that he used to wear
And when I finish the Bible I’m on to the Farmers’ Almanac
Nah, I ain’t doin’ nothin’, but you ain’t doin’ jack

I did like you told me and changed the oil in the old Ford truck, huh
Yeah, she’s still beat up but now she cranks
And I was writin’ some hits right until my pen ran outta ink
Everything fell apart in the blink of an eye

I’m drinkin’ 7 and 7s, I’m playin’ solitaire
I found my granddaddy’s hat and these real cool glasses that he used to wear
And when I finish the Bible I’m on to the Farmers’ Almanac
Nah, I ain’t doin’ nothin’, but you ain’t doin’ jack

You never settled for silence until you had to settle the score
You never said you were lonely but I never listened before

Another 7 and 7, a game of solitaire
Wearin’ my granddaddy’s hat and these real cool glasses that he used to wear
I finished the Bible, I’m on to the Farmers’ Almanac
Nah, I ain’t doin’ nothin’, I ain’t doin’ nothin’
But, you ain’t doin’ jack

No, you ain’t doin’ jack
Girl, when you comin’ back?
