Found myself in a gutter I couldn't get up Swimming in muddy water Wondering when it's gonna stop I don't need no sugar I don't need no milk I just want my coffee black And a bottle of Jack After a bottle of Jack There is no turning back Famous last words Before I was thrown out the bar Then I thought I heard The siren of a police car I woke up next morning They took my money and guitar I was lying on the floor of a prison cell In my head ringing a hell's bell After a bottle of Jack There was no turning back Come soon, the night Come, neon light I'm on my way I cannot stay I'm gonna sing my song The one I wrote two days back And I think I'll call it The Ballad of Jack After a bottle of Jack There is no turning back That was my Ballad of Jack
