Lyrics

[Intro]
| Am | G |

[Verse 1]
C E7        Am
    Well my momma worked the graveyard
G
 And my daddy was gone
     C
So I spent my nights with Ray Charles
  E7
I cried to Louis Armstrong
        Am
Well my momma she was always there
G
Diggin' us out of the hole
       C
But my father he never cared
       E7
Now he don't even pick up the phone

[Chorus]
         Am
So I call  Jim Beam when I'm in need
                                 G
Evan Williams if I'm out of money
Johnnie Walker picks up day and night
C                E7                          Am
 Jack Daniels he always gives me great advice

[Verse 2]
G C E7     Am
      As a child playing makebelieve
G
 Pretending that you're coming home
        C
I would climb in the maple tree
E7
Guessing which car was yours
          Am
It took a while but you finally showed
G
Fifteen summers down the road
           C
I know you tried to give it a go
              E7
But you don't answer my calls no more

[Chorus]
         Am
So I call  Jim Beam when I'm in need
                                 G
Evan Williams if I'm out of money
Johnnie Walker picks up day and night
C                E7
 Jack Daniels he always gives me great advice
