Jake The Slugger

Tim Steinfort

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
