Jack in My Cup

Yeah… Another long night.

Jack in my cup… Still waitin’ on you.

{melancholic acoustic guitar intro} Bottle of Jack sittin’ right beside me,

Clock keep tickin’, girl,

where you gon’ be?

Phone on silent, heart on attack,

Every pair of headlights got me thinkin’ you’re back.

Front porch smokin’, stars in the sky,

Tryna stay strong, but I’m askin’ God why.

We made plans, now they’re fallin’ apart,

Guess whiskey’s the only thing holdin’ this heart.

{subtle organic drum beat enters} One more shot,

one more memory, One more song about what used to be.

If you ain’t comin’ home tonight… I’ma leave these tears behind.

{swelling modern synth riser} I’m drinkin’ Jack Daniels,

waitin’ for my baby to come home,

But the silence keeps tellin’ me I’m here all alone.

So I’m headed downtown where the city glow,

Tryna lose this pain before it takes my soul.

DJ turn it up,

let the whole club rock,

Everybody wild while the bass beat drops.

All that shakin’, got ‘em movin’ to the beat,

But ain’t nobody in this room replacin’ what we used to be.

{high-energy drop with heavy bass drum} Walked through the door with my

head held high, Hurt in my chest but a drink in the

sky. Pretty girls dancin’,

throwin’ smiles my way,

Tryna convince me everything okay.

They pull me to the floor,

say, “Forget about her,” But memories hit harder than the whiskey burn.

I’m laughin’ outside, cryin’ deep within,

Can’t fake forever when your heart won’t mend.

{halftime rhythmic feel} If you walk through that door,

girl, I’d leave this place,

Trade every bottle just to see your face.

But if you’re really gone…

I gotta move along,

Even if tonight feels like my saddest song.

{emotional acoustic breakdown} I’m drinkin’ Jack Daniels,

but I ain’t drownin’ no more,

Closed one chapter, now I’m kickin’ down a new door.

Still in the club while the speakers shake the room,

Turnin’ heartbreak into something I can move to.

Raise your glass if you’ve ever loved and lost,

Sometimes moving on comes at a cost.

I’ll remember your love till the day I’m gray,

But tonight… I’m gonna dance this pain away.

{huge driving climax, guitar solo outro}
