Next Time You Come Around (Jimmy Boy Blues)
Now gather round me children
And let me tell a tale
Bout an outlaw from my past
Now cursed and damned to hell
He carried not a gun, he never used a knife
The only weapon he would use
Were the songs that he would write
This guy was no Billy the Kid
Though hardly called a man
This cat played guitar in a rock n' roll band
He'd come to town with his travelin gang
A master of his art
Would play his songs, then blow his kiss
And break the girlies' hearts
Oh Jimmy Boy, why do you do
These awful things you do?
You came around but once a year
This girls fall in love with you
You think you can just play your games
With no one to bring you down
I promise you, we'll tan your ass
Next time you come to town
Well first you got with Peggy Sue
Down at the swimming pool
And then you broke poor Maggie's heart
O'er at the Catholic School
You've loved the preacher's daughter
Then swooned the mayor's wife
You've even loved a twin or two
And two later that night
A broad there at the diner
The lifeguard at the lake
But when you got my sweetie pie
You made a big mistake
Oh Jimmy Boy, why do you do
These awful things you do?
You came around but once a year
This girls fall in love with you
You think you can just play your games
With no one to bring you down
I promise you, we'll tan your ass
Next time you come to town
Well children it's been thirty years
Since Jim has shown his face
A midnight lover used to sleep
Around with such a grace
Maybe Jim has passed away
Or maybe just settled down
But I swear, Jim boy, I'll slit you throat
If you ever come to town
Oh Jimmy Boy, why do you do
These awful things you do?
You came around but once a year
This girls fall in love with you
You think you can just play your games
With no one to bring you down
I promise you, we'll tan your ass
Next time you come to town
Back
