When I woke up in the morning I was already late for work I only got one sip of coffee and the rest poured down my shirt Man I was strugglin', but I was still hustlin' to go make that pay And I thought I had it figured, I'd erased most of my doubt Until I walked up to my car to find the air was all let out Of my front tire, like life conspired, to ruin this day Well I knew where this was headed And the only thing that I could think to say, was hey I need a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro smoke I need a big screen TV and a damn fine joke A Red-headed, long-legged girl on my knee Who tells me that she wants to do whatever I please You know I don't need no doctor with no fine antidote I need a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro Smoke Well I tried to shake it off me, tried to turn this mess around But then my phone it got to buzzin' I could tell just by the sound It was my baby, said I was lazy, and she'd packed up her things Well I tried the voice of reason and I begged her not to go But before I even finished I could hear that dial tone That meant she'd hung up, man don't that sum up what this day will bring Ain't no use in tryin' to fight it It was over 'fore I stepped into the ring, so I'll just sing I need a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro smoke I need a big screen TV and a damn fine joke A Red-headed, long-legged girl on my knee Who tells me that she wants to do whatever I please You know I don't need no doctor with no fine antidote I need a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro Smoke Well as soon as I got up I should've climbed back into bed I should've known right from the start that I was in over my head Ain't gonna start a cussin' or a pullin' out my hair I'm gonna ride it out till I can get me somewhere To get a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro smoke With a big screen TV and a damn fine joke A Red-headed, long-legged girl on my knee Who tells me that she wants to do whatever I please You know I don't need no doctor with no fine antidote I need a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro Smoke I need a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro Smoke Give me a shot of Jack Daniels and a Marlboro Smoke
