Karaoke Track: Everything From Jesus To Jack Daniels (With Background Vocals) by Tom T. Hall (Harris Studios) - Karaoke Nerds

You wake up in the mornin',
drink a beer and take a
valium and you're
tryin to forget about
the things you did last night

Flip through that mornin'
paper, read the horoscope
and the comics,
You're as well informed
as anybody on the left or
the right

You make it to your job
and hear Atlanta lost
another

How can you lose while
makin' a half a million
bucks or near?

The old man who sweeps
the floor and wears
a big blue Reagan button
says the Russians are
a'comin', but they've
been here for years

Tryin' everything from
Jesus to Jack Daniels
It's the all new American diet

Tryin' everything from
Jesus to Jack Daniels
You get on it and you're

on it for the rest of your life

There's a story in the paper
about a man
who killed his family
He jumped off the bridge
because he couldn't
take it anymore

Down at the local tavern
a young man comes in
limpin' and he claims
that he's a veteran of
the Falkland Islands war

You head home and
you're accosted by
a youngster wearin' robes
and wantin' money for
his God who sits upon
a plastic throne

You ignore him if you can
and make it to the local
tavern where you order

up a drink and give some

money to your own

Tryin' everything from
Jesus to Jack Daniels
It's the all new American diet

Tryin' everything from
Jesus to Jack Daniels
You get on it and you're

on it for the rest of your life

There's a man in Tennessee
who's got it figured out
completely
I guess that he's as happy
as a thinkin' man can be

I asked him what he
thought, and he said
brother let me tell you,
try a little bit of both
and leave out
everything in between

Tryin' everything from
Jesus to Jack Daniels
It's the all new American diet

Tryin' everything from
Jesus to Jack Daniels
You get on it and you're

on it for the rest of your life
