Jimmy's got a funeral fund
his mama didn't think he'd make it past 21
by the time that he hit 18
he was livin' real fast, way too much to last
just tryin' hard to forget about the past, SO!
he could get a move on with his brand new life
-CHORUS-
he was born, and he came into life
untouched by the world not yet a victim of strife
as time rolled on ya know mistakes were made
he fixed what he could but the scars still remained
stuck to the vice which he was prone
he spent all his time just killin' himself alone
so he said
I'm gettin' out of here
I don't know how and I don't know where
I gotta get it straight this time
been down this road before
I gotta get in the car and close the door
and just try to get away
try to get away from me
Jimmy's got a cold damp cell
No idea how he wound up inside this hell
Not knowing that he killed his best friend last night
Findin' out he done what he did
He folded on the chips that bought him in
into this little game that we call life
(CHORUS)
With his mother's tears on the roll
she lost her heart and she lost her soul
when he got up and walked straight out of her life
she put him all of six feet down
underneath the top soil of this hard ground
so she could get a move on with her brand new life
(CHORUS)
