Story behind the song
The riff ignited the thought of the song title and lyrics. It's about a woman who gets hooked on alcohol and throws away her dreams.
Lyrics
(1st Verse) Born along the wrong deserted highway, daughter of a drifter, she makes her money making rounds, with ever other mister, barely 5 ft tall, her size is small but she's all attitude, miss congeniality, is really misconstrued, (Chorus) And another sip will maybe tip her over, Her mortal enemies are clean and sober, you'll find her somewhere in an alley talking smack, with her empty dreams and her best friend jack, (2nd Verse) She used to be a pretty thing, who had the perfect song she'd sing, Now Jack Daniels is her only fling, A drunken happiness is all he'll bring The queen of heartache depends on her king to bring her everything, (chorus) (Bridge/C-Section) She hopes for better days but yet instead, A resounding echo fills her head, calling out his name on a dead end street, disturbing her ability to be discreet, lonely talkin' slowly creepin' in the dark searching for the comforts of a trailer park, hoping for the day she'll make it back, to a time when she was someone without Jack, Chorus Vamp Out
