Fifth Of Jack
A whiskey road song about escaping bad advice, bad company, and maybe yourself through a dangerous bottle-shaped friend.

Lyrics
Fifth Of Jack
By Smartass Amoeba
You keep bringing me down
Get the hell off my case
With my fifth of Jack
I'm walking away
We've been through hell, me and you
You had me over a barrel
With my fifth of Jack
I'm saying farewell
Full of advice
Empty of meaning
You keep on speaking
I keep on drinking
No life hack
No map, no track
With my fifth of Jack
I don't look back
No time to dawdle
Hit the bottle
With my fifth of Jack
Redline, full throttle
I grab you by the neck
You burn all the way down
With my fifth of Jack
You never let me drown
Used to be sweet
I had my fill of your ration
With my fifth of Jack
You keep it old fashioned
Full of advice
Empty of meaning
You keep on speaking
I keep on drinking
No life hack
No map, no track
With my fifth of Jack
I don't look back
No time to dawdle
Hit the bottle
With my fifth of Jack
Redline, full throttle
We go together like Turner and Hooch
Yeah, it's reckless, a little uncouth
Ain't never perfect, but it ain't for naught
Long as we're willing to give it a shot
Up to my highballs
I'm feeling the burn
With my fifth of Jack
Me and my friend will not return
I was out for the count
Flat on my back
Then a mouthful of fire
From my fifth of Jack
No life hack
No map, no track
With my fifth of Jack
I don't look back
No time to dawdle
Hit the bottle
With my fifth of Jack
Redline, full throttle
Leaving this town
No note, no track
Just me and the road
And my fifth of Jack
