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
