Jimmy was a local boy but he's seen much more than the change in the weather |
|
Sitting in a uniform of a three-piece suit and the ribbons from his past |
|
Looking through a little boy at the bar with the mouth who thinks his clever now |
|
Dreaming of a day that he goes home from a war to his childhood sweetheart |
|
Now he don't need anyone, there's no one there for him |
|
Just a feeling of an empty place deteriorating |
|
Jimmy was a local boy, but he's seen much more than |
|
I'm bound to ever |
|
A member of a dying breed that sat and wait as it all just falls apart |
|
Dreaming of a day that's oh so long ago, that he can't remember right |
|
There was a time a man can still be a man and be proud to use his heart |
|
Now he don't need anyone, there's no one there for him |
|
There was really only one |
|
Now he misses how she sounds, he frowns, line 'em up and he puts them down |
|
It's sad this town seems to fail to appreciate the man |
|
Now he don't need anyone, there's no one there for him |
|
No he don't feel any more 'cause jimmy's so thick-skinned |
|
And a long long time ago, when he could break her heart |
|
There was really only one |
|
Now he misses how she sounds, he frowns, line em up and he puts em down |
|
Its sad this town seems to fail to appreciate what he's about |
|
Line 'em up and he puts them down |
|
It's sad this town seems to fail to appreciate the man |
