The Facts About Jimmy Lyrics by Shawn Colvin

The Facts About Jimmy Lyrics

    Jimmy is married and he lives down south
    His wife lives somewhere colder
    He sees another woman in a badlands town
    And she cries upon his shoulder

    Jimmy thinks that he's a helpless man
    He thinks about love in a vacuum
    And he won't remember that talk you had
    When you were walking into the bedroom

    He'll say I don't know why we met
    The simple truth is always the best
    C'est la vie - what's done is done
    And there's somebody for everyone

    Jimmy has debts and Jimmy has ties
    That he can't get out from under
    If you look far enough into his eyes
    It'll rock you just like thunder

    Jimmy broke locks and Jimmy broke bolts
    Just to get himself out from under
    When you feel like you're lying in a prison cell
    It'll kind of make you wonder

    He'll say it's destiny we met
    The simple truth is always the best
    Don't you see what's done is done
    And there's somebody for everyone

    I used to get drunk to get my spark
    And it used to work just fine
    It made me wretched but it gave me heart
    I miss Jimmy like I miss my wine

    Jimmy as if you didn't know by now
    Let me tell you a thing or two
    Everybody might have someone
    But everyone falls in love with you...

    He'll say you get just what you get
    The simple truth is always the best
    Don't you see what's done is done?
    And there's somebody for everyone
