Jimmy's Gone Numb

Jimmy grew up just down the street

Raised on corn and amphetamines

And he had dreams

Big ol' American

Daddy said if he worked real hard

He'd get paid and he'd go real far

And that's a dream

Big ol' American

Ozark boy on a cliffs edge

Thirty year war and a mortgage

Paying taxes can't afford eggs

Can't afford shit

He can't can't

Some have dreams

Some wake up

Some breathe gasoline

Doors all shut

Said it hurts too much to feel it

So now Jimmy's gone numb

Some got good luck

Some got none

Some are born the wrong someone's son

Said it hurts too much to feel it

So now Jimmy's gone numb

Jimmy's grown and his mommas sick

He's got no idea how they'll pay for it

It ain't cheap

Big ol' American

Uncle Sam and his daddy lied

So he stumbles home and he gets real high

He had dreams

Big ol' American dreams

Ozark boy on a cliffs edge

It's a free fall, one more step

Pockets just like those promises

Those promises

They're broke, broke

Some have dreams

Some wake up

Some breathe gasoline

Doors all shut

Said it hurts too much to feel it

So now Jimmy's gone numb

Some got good luck

Some got none

Some are born the wrong someone's son

Said it hurts too much to feel it

So now Jimmy's gone numb

Said it hurts too much to feel it

So now Jimmy's gone numb

Said it hurts too much to feel it

So now Jimmy's gone
