The Facts About Jimmy — текст песни (Shawn Colvin)

Jimmy is married and he lives down south

His wife lives somewhere colder

He sees another woman in a badlands town

And she cries upon his shoulder



Jimmy thinks that hes a helpless man

He thinks about love in a vacuum

And he wont remember that talk you had

When you were walking into the bedroom



Hell say I dont know why we met

The simple truth is always the best

Cest la vie - whats done is done

And theres somebody for everyone



Jimmy has debts and jimmy has ties

That he cant get out from under

If you look far enough into his eyes

Itll rock you just like thunder



Jimmy broke locks and jimmy broke bolts

Just to get himself out from under

When you feel like youre lying in a prison cell

Itll kind of make you wonder



Hell say its destiny we met

The simple truth is always the best

Dont you see whats done is done

And theres somebody for everyone



I used to get drunk to get my spark

And it used to work just fine

It made me wretched but it gave me heart

I miss jimmy like I miss my wine



Jimmy as if you didnt know by now

Let me tell you a thing or two

Everybody might have someone

But everyone falls in love with you...



Hell say you get just what you get

The simple truth is always the best

Dont you see whats done is done?

And theres somebody for everyone
