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
