There was a soul named Jimmy
I once knew
Brown liquor for eyes
When he made his debut
He showered in hope
But he always smelled of regret
Concealed in the smoke of a single
Cigarette
He said he would answer to many names
But said he would never ever go back to being James
Jimmy would go days while he gazed
In the future's past
His body was free
But his mind wasn't built to last
He said he would answer to many names
But said he would never ever go back to being James
He said he would answer to many names
But said he would never ever go back to being James
There was a soul named Jimmy
I once knew
Brown liquor for eyes
When he made his debut
