Jack And Coke

(album: Dirt Road Down - 2021)

He sees a blue-eyed dream from across the room
Looking back over his way
Changes his drink from one to two
Trying to think of something to say
Deep breath, here it goes
It's a story everybody knows

Jack meets Jill one late Friday night
In a hole in the wall low lit kinda dive
Jack asks Jill if she wants to dance
A half buzz kiss comes after that
Two hearts find love, fall right in
Give it all they got, but in the end
Jack holds on, and Jill lets go
Now it's just Jack and Coke

That 90-proof black label glass-bottle pour
Is sitting where she should be
But no matter how many he throws down
It can't drown that memory

Jack meets Jill one late Friday night
In a hole in the wall low lit kinda dive
Jack asks Jill if she wants to dance
A half buzz kiss comes after that
Two hearts find love, fall right in
Give it all they got, but in the end
Jack holds on, and Jill lets go
Now it's just Jack and Coke

Over ice, he'll keep 'em coming
He won't think twice about stopping
Till he's forgotten

Jack meets Jill one late Friday night
In a hole in the wall low lit kinda dive
Jack asks Jill if she wants to dance
A half buzz kiss comes after that
Two hearts find love, fall right in
Give it all they got, but in the end
Jack holds on, oh and Jill lets go
Now it's just Jack and Coke
Now it's just Jack and Coke

That 90-proof black label glass-bottle pour
Is sitting where she should be
