Jimmy

from Speck by Alexa Woodward

lyrics

Jimmy was a wayward man
Laying in a white linen bed
Broke his back in a rooftop fall
Doing so much blow
He couldn't see at all
He told me about the girls he'd had
Elaborate plans to sneak them in
I'd play along and leave behind
Safety precautions
Tuesdays at the old folks home
A man would play the accordion
And all the ageless skeletons
Yearned to learn how to die young
I wish I had known him when
He was still too young for sin
I'd have taken all his kindling
Kept it dry for burning
Pulp fiction littering his bed
Lonesome to the point of death
Bright in all his tiresome mess
Never one for repentance
They found an empty bible by
The bed, just after he died
He'd carved away the book of psalms
To his his medicine
Just in time for the good lord's plan,
Jimmy took to the road again
With an empty bible,
As a wayward man
