Day 8 - a song about drugs or alcohol

This song is dedicated to the amazing trip that I took a year ago this month.

I went to Nashville, Tennessee. While there, I realized that there was no possible way that I could do Broadway two days in a row.

On the second full day in Tennessee, I ventured down to Lynchburg, Tennessee, and went on a tour of the Jack Daniels distillery.

I've always wanted to go. I'm so glad I was brave enough to drive 900 miles by myself for that trip.

It was life changing.


Jack Daniels
Eric Church

I got a reputation going round
Ain't never been the kind to back down
I’ve thrown a punch or two and gave a few black eyes
But Jack Daniels kicked my ass again last night

I hung in pretty good for a round or two,
But he don’t fight fair like daddy taught me to,
Her memory turned my head and then he snuck up from behind
Yeah Jack Daniels kicked my ass again last night

Always thought this heart was made of steel and bulletproof
But the memory of her taillights fading breaks it right in two
Guess every superman has got his kryptonite
Jack Daniels kicked my ass again last night

Well I didn’t bleed and I ain't black and blue
But it ain't hard to tell who got the better of who
Cause in the morning light I’m hard to recognize
Yeah Jack Daniels kicked my ass again last night

Always thought this heart was made of steel and bulletproof
But the memory of her taillights fading breaks it right in two
Guess every superman has got his kryptonite
Jack Daniels kicked my ass again last night

That black label’s like black powder for my soul
My head feels like a bomb about to blow
Hell I’m half inclined to give that fuse a light
And let Jack Daniels kick my ass again tonight
