1208 Jimmy Lyrics

Jimmy Lyrics

Jimmy

It started out with a few misfortunes

His daddy ran off with some broad from the motown

When momma said we're leavin tomorrow

Jimmy already had his things together

So many days of thinking of the past

The girl he left behind and hangin out in the

free streets

Somehow Jimmy had survived his reflections

The broken glass in his hands, a noose before him

Said he did it before

He's gonna do it again

Give him a fix and a bottle and he won't complain

Until he's blue in the face

Jimmy's the leader of a losin' race

Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson

You always know what you were missin'

Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem

Just a kid with no direction

Some people say it was fright that drove him

But Jimmy knows who's really scared of difference

The whipping boy won't take his beating

It only left them alone to their thinking

Of how he knew what they could never know

And he would live and learn to be himself

through his mistakes

Watch and laugh, pretend they were okay

Waiting for things to change is just another day

Said he did it before

He's gonna do it again

Give him a fix or a bottle and he won't complain

Until he's blue in the face

Jimmy's the leader of a losing race

Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson

You always knew what you were missin'

Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem

Just a kid with no direction

Hey Jimmy don't you walk away

We'll look at life according to me

You're my life support auto biography

Hey Jimmy take a look inside

Let's take a chance, enjoy the ride

Impressions don't die

No one knew your story

Hey Jimmy did you learn you lesson

You always knew what you were missin' (Jimmy)

Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem

Just a kid with no direction (Jimmy)

Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson

You always knew what you were missin' (Jimmy)

Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem

Just a kid with no direction (Jimmy)

Hey Jimmy now your free
