Jimmy’s Gone Numb Lyrics by Sawyer Hill
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 freefall, 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
