Lyrics:
Jack be nimble Jack be quick
Jack told Jill that he would quit
So he hides his jack in a dresser drawer
Jack ran off to the liquor store
Cause Jack couldn’t stand it anymore
Said he’d be back and “it won’t take long”
But now ole Jacks gone
Jack never made it up that hill
Coulda been the booze, coulda been the pills
Coulda been a late night runaway lover
But it’s too late to say
Now Jill’s at home alone
She got a lit cigarette waiting by the phone
She saves her breath because only time will tell
Old habits they don’t die like that
Now Jill drinks Jack
Jill cried through mourning hours
Front porch steps are covered up with flowers
She smiles though a window pane
Jill tried grace and Jill tried sin
She talked to Jesus like he was a friend
But Jacks the only one that’s killed that pain
Now all she’s left with a name
Jack never made it up that hill
Coulda been the booze, coulda been the pills
Coulda been a late night runaway lover
But it’s too late to say
Now Jill’s at home alone
She got a lit cigarette waiting by the phone
She saves her breath because only time will tell
Old habits they don’t die like that
now Jill drinks Jack
It’ll be a year come this May
Jill still wishes Jack woulda stayed
Jack never made it up that hill
Coulda been the booze, coulda been the pills
Coulda been a late night runaway lover
But it’s too late to say
Now Jill’s at home alone
With a lit cigarette waiting by the phone
She saves her breath cuz only time will tell
Old habits they don’t die like that
Old habits they don't die like that
now Jill drinks Jack
Jack be nimble jack be quick
Jill’s left holdin’ a candlestick
