Hey Hey Jimmy

by Thomas Anderson

from the album The Debris Field

Hey hey Jimmy, he's back in the band,

It'll be like it was before;

Hey hey Jimmy, he's back in the band,

And he ain't fuckin' up anymore.

Come out to the club-no cover tonight,

It'll be like it was before,

Jimmy's gonna rock the hits all night,

And he ain't fuckin' up anymore.

He's got it together, he knows he belongs,

It'll be like it was before;

He's gonna learn the songs and the names of the songs,

And he ain't fuckin' up anymore.

Got a Les Paul copy, cherry top red,

It'll be like it was before;

Watch him play lead behind his head,

And he ain't fuckin' up anymore.

A feedback wail, he drops to his knees,

It'll be like it was before;

Gone are the days when he loses his keys,

And he ain't fuckin' up anymore.

Roll up the street in his girlfriend's car,

It'll be like it was before;

He jumps in the crowd like a rock 'n' roll star,

And he ain't fuckin' up anymore.

Rock 'n' roll-it never dies,

Get the kids to bed, I'll give you a ride.

Follow the sound of the people's applause

Down the street from China Massage.

Hey hey Jimmy, he's back in the band,

It'll be like it was before;

Hey hey Jimmy, he's back in the band,

And he ain't fuckin' up anymore.
