Behind the Music

I love my whiskey.  I love my men.  Sometimes the similarities are just a little too much to ignore.  I wrote the chorus to this song in early 2002 while drinkin' whiskey in a bar with my friend Mikey.  I just started singing, and then I wrote it down.  But somehow when I tried to work on the song sober, I couldn't get any further, so I set it aside.  On Christmas day 2003, the family festivities were getting a little irritating, and it put me in the mindset I needed to finish the tune.  I'd like to dedicate this to all my fellow Whiskey girls.  And it goes a little somethin' like this...

Lyrics

I've got a nasty habit and I don't think that I can quit

I just gotta have it although too much can make me sick

I get just one glimpse of you at the bar and I feel the internal confliction

I had my chance to leave but I take my seat and keep on feedin' my addiction

 

'Cuz baby you're just like Jack

Bartender give me one more

The sweet taste on my lips brings me crawlin' back through that door

You've got me sayin' such things I'll spend a lifetime takin' back

Sure your name ain't Daniels 

'Cuz baby you're just like Jack

 

Wake up the morning after with a mountain of regret

As always my behavior is something I'd like to forget

The way you've got me thinkin' has put me in a feisty mood

Only when I'm drinkin' do I feel this confused

 

'Cuz baby you're just like Jack

Bartender give me one more

The sweet taste on my lips brings me crawlin' back through that door

You've got me sayin' such things I'll spend a lifetime takin' back

Sure your name ain't Daniels

'Cuz baby you're just like Jack

 

You and I are like runaway freight train

A good ride but trouble bound

When the buzz wears off and the fuzz sets in 

I know it's time for another round

 

'Cuz baby you're just like Jack

Bartender give me one more

The sweet taste on my lips brings me crawlin' back through that door

You've got me sayin' such things I'll spend a lifetime takin' back

Sure your name ain't Daniels

'Cuz baby you're just like Jack

 

I swear your name is Daniels

 'Cuz baby you're just like

You know you're just like

No baby don't fight

I like you just like

Oh baby just like Jack
