Here’s the lyrics to “I Shot Jimmy” – In case you ever wondered what I was singing about:
I Shot Jimmy
Got no money
Got no place to call a home
And we ain’t even grown
She is only
Just 18 and things are fine
And won’t be in school for long
When I should have kept the lights on
I should have told her ‘slow down’
But I don’t want…to
Do you?
She says ‘hold me’
Kissed her chin and spilled the wine
My brain is gone but I’m tryin’ to talk some sense into Jimmy
I sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
[And all of your pills are gone now]
We don’t realize
In a moment face to face
But here we go again
And there’s no more “think it over”
I’m caught in the moment and I can’t pull it out
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
[What is your father gonna do?]
We can make it I promise, Kathy
Cause I know what to do
But it’s up to you to choose
To cry and go home
Or stay forever my love
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
[What are we gonna do now]
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
[When all of your pills are gone]
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
[What is your father gonna do]
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
Sh-sh-sh shot jimmy
