Lyrics
Johnny, Jack & Old Grand Dad
Had a slightly used ring that I took in to hock it
For a hundred dollar bill that's burnin' holes in my pocket
I'll spend it on the friends that can help me forget her
Raise a glass to the past & hope they make it better
CHORUS
Grand Dad's at my table with Johnny Walker Red
And Mr. Daniels' said there's better days ahead
Good ol' boys to know when the times are bad
They give (tell) it to me straight - Johnny, Jack & Old Grand Dad
There's no way to fix a heart with a crack down the middle
Can't drink away the pain but it does helps a little
They share the same advice as that old number seven
They can tell it's been hell but the taste is truly heaven
CHORUS - INSTR
BRIDGE
Now they're the only medicine I got
They sweeten up the bitter with every shot
CHORUS
