Yeah... I see what you guys are saying and I thought about the same thing... I just didn't want to push the limits of audience comprehenstion... I've found that in order to take away from blowing the cover of jack so soon... i just take out the line "Jacks a buddy bought by the bottle" And I slip it into the last refrainm somewhere.... keeps the imagery without blatantly blowing the cover of the metaphor.... I also didn't want to hide the metaphor too deep in the imagery mostly because that's not my style... and secondly because I wrote the song in the stylings of a blues song so It's more or less suppose to be straight forard and in your face....

Thanks for the opinions though guys!! Means a lot that you guys take the time to read my stuff.
