"Jimmy's Gone Numb" lyrics

Jimmy grew up just down the street
Raised on corn and amphetamines
And he had dreams
Big ol' American

Daddy said if he worked real hard
He'd get paid and he'd go real far
And that's a dream
Big ol' American

Ozark boy on a cliffs edge
Thirty year war and a mortgage
Paying taxes can't afford eggs
Can't afford shit
He can't can't

Some have dreams
Some wake up
Some breathe gasoline
Doors all shut
Said it hurts too much to feel it
So now Jimmy's gone numb

Some got good luck
Some got none
Some are born the wrong someone's son
Said it hurts too much to feel it
So now Jimmy's gone numb

Jimmy's grown and his mommas sick
He's got no idea how they'll pay for it
It ain't cheap
Big ol' American

Uncle Sam and his daddy lied
So he stumbles home and he gets real high
He had dreams
Big ol' American dreams

Ozark boy on a cliffs edge
It's a freefall, one more step
Pockets just like those promises
Those promises
They're broke, broke

Some have dreams
Some wake up
Some breathe gasoline
Doors all shut
Said it hurts too much to feel it
So now Jimmy's gone numb

Some got good luck
Some got none
Some are born the wrong someone's son
Said it hurts too much to feel it
So now Jimmy's gone numb

Said it hurts too much to feel it
So now Jimmy's gone numb

Said it hurts too much to feel it
So now Jimmy's gone
