Jack & Jill Daniel's

Jill was a diamond in a chunk of coal town

Prettiest girl in any holler around

Took a shine to Jack, Jack gave her a ring

And for a little while, they had a really good thing

Jill was hard to handle, that's a known fact

But 'til you hear the whole story, you don't know Jack

Jack went up the hill to build a still of whiskey

And drink away the hurt of his heartbreak history

Ain't no mystery, that's the way it goes

Behind every shot of Jack, there's a Jill Daniels

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Nobody knows for sure, but the old timers say

"Jill left with a man on a midnight train"

Jack knew all along he couldn't hold that girl

But what he did next changed the whole world

Jack went up the hill to build a still of whiskey

And drink away the hurt of his heartbreak history

Ain't no mystery, that's the way it goes

Behind every shot of Jack, there's a Jill Daniels

She put the fire in his heart, he put the burn in the bottle

Now you know the story, Lord, it should have been a novel

Sometimes a broken heart can be a curse and a blessing

So raise a toast to Jill for that old number 7

Jack went up the hill to build a still of whiskey

And drink away the hurt of his heartbreak history

Ain't no mystery, that's the way it goes

Behind every shot of Jack, there's a Jill Daniels

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
