Hearing Jimmy Loud Lyrics - English Oceans - Drive By Truckers

Trapped in a truck with Jimmy, listening to his band 

Jimmy's out of place same as ashtrays and column shifts 

Said his last old lady nearly run him in the ground 

Half a gram later I was hearing Jimmy loud 

She had a tanning habit, 

She's like a talking leather couch 

Warm between the cushions where she hid whatever treasure fell out 

Said she only hollered when she'd stood as much as she could stand, 

Jimmy's ego can take it baby go on and fake it loud as you can 

She's my baby and she knows it I get reminded now and then 

Your either someone's or your nothing, 

God must be a lonely man 

Them kids ain't never listened, ain't no use in trying now 

All were doings' getting older and our 

Welcome and our warnings wearing out 

Jimmy's babies mama's got him lawyered up one side and down 

That earful cost me nothing, 

Poor old Jimmy's paying for it by the pound 

Everybody loves a baby everybody loves a child 

Nobody wants to see them damaged 

Nobody wants them running wild 

The moral lessons of a charmed life 

Only get through guilty ears 

Thanks to learning luck and half sense 

I'm hearing Jimmy loud and clear
