Lyrics
I Blame It All On Jack
Derek McCorkell 2010

1
Got a ticket for a DUI ,just the other day
Going way too fast and just to drunk too see ,
The officer said sir , what have you got to say ,
It was someone else's fault , it wasn't me
2
I wandered into work , 2 hours late again,
Didn't hear that big alarm clock ring at all ,
The boss said keep your coat on, you're going back out in the rain ,
3 strikes and you're out, you've got no excuse at all .
Chorus
It's been the story of my life, I'm my own worst enemy ,
I make excuses for all the things I lack ,
Mr Daniels don't say drink me, I do that on my own
I'm the straw that broke the camel's back,
There's no-one else to blame
The buck stops here with me,
Yet I blame it all on Jack
3
Now today my honey left me, walked out of the door
Said she'd had enough and wanted to be free
I cried baby what's the matter, don't you love me anymore
She said it seems you love that bottle more than me.
Chorus
It's been the story of my life, I'm my own worst enemy ,
I make excuses for all the things I lack ,
Mr Daniels don't say drink me, I do that on my own
I'm the straw that broke the camel's back,
There's no-one else to blame
Yet I blame it all on Jack
