On the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart dated for August 13, 2005, "All Jacked Up" debuted at #21, setting a record for the highest ever debut by a female artist on the country charts.[1] The last female artist to hold this record was Shania Twain, whose "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" debuted at #24 in 2002.[1] Gretchen Wilson's record has since been broken by Carrie Underwood's "So Small", which debuted at #20 on the Billboard country chart dated for August 18, 2007.

Heyahhhhhhhhh
Five thirty PM rolls around, there’s a little old joint outside of town
I only got time for a couple of beers and a juke box song ringing in my ears
The next you know the bartenders pouring, shots are flowing, got me stoned and
All I really know is that I should be going, but I’m soaking up the moment
I'm all jacked up, all jacked up
Don’t believe I’ve ever had this much.
One thing I’ve learned when you get tore up
Time sure flies when you’re all jacked up
It was getting mighty close to Nine o’clock, what the hell I'll have one more
shot.
Then I winked at a boy at the end of the bar, guess I mighta musta gone a little
too far.
'Cause a big ol' girl walked outta the blue, 10 foot 2 with a bad attitude
Stepped right up and knocked out my tooth, guess I had it coming, I deserved it,
too
'Cause I was all jacked up, all jacked up,
Don’t believe I’ve ever had this much.
One thing I’ve learned when you get tore up
Don’t start no stuff when you’re all jacked up.
Don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here,
That’s what they said when I got my last beer.
Oh my God, it's 2 o’clock, I can’t find my keys and my trucks locked
So I grabbed a tire tool and I broke my window, hurt my elbow got me in' though
Two foot later backed into the light pole, all the town folk got a good show
All jacked up, all jacked up
Don’t believe I’ve ever had this much.
One thing I’ve learned when you get tore up
Don’t drive you truck when you’re all jacked up
Jacked up
(all jacked up, all jacked up)
oooooooooo
One thing I’ve learned when you get tore up;
Don’t start no stuff when you’re all jacked up.
One thing I’ve learned when you get tore up……
Don’t drive your car
Don’t start no stuff in no bar
Hell, I wouldn’t tell anybody where you are
When you’re all jacked up
All Jacked up
All Jacked up
All Jacked up
Yeh yeh yeh yeh
