One Last Shot

I was fiddling with some words at work last week and have finally completed a thought. Let me know what you think:

One last shot

Its about two in the morning and I am yawning
A perfect sign I need to take my behind...home
But Mr. Bartender man you of all people understand
that you can't leave the stand without one last shot
So what will it be, Jack, E&J, or Hennesey
I do believe I got about ten dollars left on me
Here you go, keep the change maybe I should do the same thing
...Change that is
No need to think about that unless you plan on giving me that 10 back
And since I rather ignore the facts Ima need my shot of Jack
A shot of Jack and Jack had a shot at me but Jack chose to leave
So I cuddle with the handle because I cannot handle nor believe
Jack left me alone...
So I'm thinking if you keep my change then how can I change
I'll just remain the same and be here day after day
Handing you my last ten again and again day out day in
Yawning looking at you like its two in the morning
Then I search through the pot and I ask for the shot
And you give it to me...
Mr. Bartender man that may be why I come to you almost every night
Thinking you giving me a shot of life, a great illusion that's not right
All I want is a shot to make things right maybe bring Jack back by my side
So I hand you the ten then say it three times again
To keep my change because I don't feel like changing
I just need a shot...
But this time its without Jack and I'm taking my change back
And now I understand that, you are giving me a shot I should lack
So Mr. Bartender man my shining star, I grab my change and head for my car
Had it confused with who you really are, the shot I need is not at this bar
