I woke up cussing jack daniels today, yeah...

Could almost hear him laughing in my head

He ain't the kinda guy I'd hang out with, man

Someday I gotta quit.

I killed that guilt with some getting to church on time

But I, couldn't make it through the sermon again

Without packing a little calm-down in my lip

And man someday I gotta quit.

Between the whiskey and the nicotine

The wrong girls and the right jeans

All the other fires that keep burning me out keep lit

It ain't never gonna happen, some say

Oh but somehow, someway, someday I gotta quit.

Old man wasn't waiting around like he always does

Hoping this might be the day I drop that grudge

And holding it is heavy, I admit

Man, some day I gotta quit.

Between the whiskey and the nicotine

The wrong girls and the right jeans

All the other fires that keep burning me out keep lit

It ain't never gonna happen, some say

Oh but somehow, someway, someday I gotta quit.

I got a long drag from a marlboro in my lungs

Another long neck in my hands getting low

And I'm missing the girl that started all of this, damn

Some day I gotta quit.
