"Jimmy" lyrics
(feat. Sarcastic Sounds)
Jimmy, oh, won't you please come home
The grass is green and the buffalos roam
Come see Jimmy, your uncle Jim
And your aunty Jim and your cousin Jim
I'm goin' back to where the cattle roam, dead inside like catacombs
Before we said our vows I was searching, but never had a home
On the day we met gave you daffodils by the lake
Her love was like the wild west, a fool's gold got in the way (Got in the way)
Tumbleweeds and country things that led your heart astray
I never knew the place we used to stay would turn into our graves
Guess I'm going back to basics, I ain't up for conversation
Holler back every day 'cause it's a game that tests my patience
Jimmy, oh, won't you please come home
The grass is green and the buffalos roam
Come see Jimmy, your uncle Jim
And your auntie Jim and your cousin Jim
Come home Jimmy 'cause you need a bath
And your grandpa Jimmy is still gone daft
Come see Jimmy, your uncle Jim
And your auntie Jim and your cousin Jim
I bet you're caught on my nickname
I had to dip, lemme switch planes
You tried to tell me that you did change
Yeah, but you couldn't even fix things
All this emotion approaching me inside, it hurt
Hopelessly focused on family first
You said that we could start one of our own
So how could it not be the route that you chose?
I'm over this and over that
Made me forget my sober past
I took the hike, I'm on the rocks
I'm in my feels and feeling lost
I want you here to comfort me
Love is just a luxury
That tends to bound with separation
Sat there trying to test my
Patience is absurd, the booze is slurring my words
Confusion within the hurt, now I'm over this
You're forcing me off the path, our carriage was bound to crash
Our marriage would never last and now I'm all alone
Jimmy, oh, won't you please come home
The grass is green and the buffalos roam
Come see Jimmy, your uncle Jim
And your auntie Jim and your cousin Jim
Come home Jimmy 'cause you need a bath
And your grandpa Jimmy is still gone daft
Come see Jimmy, your uncle Jim
And your auntie Jim and your cousin Jim
The grass is green and the buffalos roam
Come see Jimmy, your uncle Jim
And your aunty Jim and your cousin Jim
I'm goin' back to where the cattle roam, dead inside like catacombs
Before we said our vows I was searching, but never had a home
On the day we met gave you daffodils by the lake
Her love was like the wild west, a fool's gold got in the way (Got in the way)
Tumbleweeds and country things that led your heart astray
I never knew the place we used to stay would turn into our graves
Guess I'm going back to basics, I ain't up for conversation
Holler back every day 'cause it's a game that tests my patience
Jimmy, oh, won't you please come home
The grass is green and the buffalos roam
Come see Jimmy, your uncle Jim
And your auntie Jim and your cousin Jim
Come home Jimmy 'cause you need a bath
And your grandpa Jimmy is still gone daft
Come see Jimmy, your uncle Jim
And your auntie Jim and your cousin Jim
I bet you're caught on my nickname
I had to dip, lemme switch planes
You tried to tell me that you did change
Yeah, but you couldn't even fix things
All this emotion approaching me inside, it hurt
Hopelessly focused on family first
You said that we could start one of our own
So how could it not be the route that you chose?
I'm over this and over that
Made me forget my sober past

I'm in my feels and feeling lost
I want you here to comfort me
Love is just a luxury
That tends to bound with separation

Patience is absurd, the booze is slurring my words

Jimmy, oh, won't you please come home
The grass is green and the buffalos roam

Come home Jimmy 'cause you need a bath
And your grandpa Jimmy is still gone daft
Come see Jimmy, your uncle Jim
And your auntie Jim and your cousin Jim
