Lyrics

I was having a conversation with a man I know named Jack
He was born in Tennessee, and he can't wait to get back
He was giving me advice on the women in my life
He even told me how to get rid of my old nagging ex-wife
He said, “Talk to me a lot,
Tell her what I said,
She won't understand it much, but it'll sound good in your head.”
Oh, Mr. Daniel

Mr. Daniel's words still ring true to this day
Every time that I get hurt, I still fix it his way
'Cause courage comes in a bottle; now don't let 'em lie to you
No matter how hard it gets Old Number Seven's there for you
He says, “Talk to me a lot,
Listen to what I say,
You won't understand it all, but it'll get you through the day.”
Oh, Mr. Daniel

I've been talking to my friend since 1989
When there's no one else to talk to, he's always got the time
He's there beside me like no one else could be
If I need a friend to lean on, he's always there for me
He says, “Talk to me a lot,
Listen to what I say,
You won't understand it all, but it'll get you through the day.”
Oh, Mr. Daniel

Oh, Mr. Daniel
Oh, Mr. Daniel
