Lyrics Jake the Slugger - Tim Steinfort

Jake the Slugger

Jake found his bottle of whiskey again and I guess we all know what that means
There’ll be trouble tonight Jake will look for a fight so you better get out of
his way
Jake was a boxer who used to knock out his opponents in the first round
And when he fought the best he was strong he was fast almost twice the man he
is today
But whiskey and cocaine ended it all it became his daily routine
To be drunk to be high to be stoned and deny his addiction to all of these drugs
A shot at the title was out of the question he messed up his fighting career
Now he cleans up the mess and he takes out the trash for your everyday
neighborhood thugs
Jake was a slugger who fought like no other
But fucked it all up drinking whiskey like water
And he went down the drain using lot’s of cocaine
No the king won’t return to the ring
No half the man that he once used to be Jake has to stand on his own
Without love without friends no support or defense everybody’s afraid of old
jake
When Jakey get’s angry get out of the way or you risk loosing all of your teeth
He’s on whiskey and coke he’s not in for a joke you do not want to make that
mistake
I remember old Jake from back in the days
Before he turned into the city’s discrace
When Jake had to live with the loss of his son
The addictions began and the fighter was done
Sinds the death of his son he decided to throw in the towel in to the ring
Without strength left to fight only anger inside he tries to escape from the
pain
Tonight he is looking for someone to blame there’s no doubt that there will be
a fight
Don’t you look in his eyes or you will pay the price and than you will be
knocked out tonight
