Shadow & Jimmy

[Verse 1]

Shadow and Jimmy were always yesterday’s news

Jimmy’s a bowler, Shadow rents out his green bowling shoes

Late Friday night when the bars are all shuttered and dark

He shadows back Jimmy to the lot in the lost trailer park

[Verse 2]

For Shadow and Jimmy every weekend end up the same

If it’s Saturday night, then it must be the hockey game

After cold beer and barbecued ribs the night is complete

With wrestling stories and elegant bones

That are tired of walking and on their way home

[Chorus]

And they talk about the women

And they look at the girls

They’ll never know the ways of the world

They’ve got a mouthful of much obliged

And a handful of gimme

And the love for each other

Of Shadow and Jimmy

[Verse 3]

For Shadow and Jimmy now the story is told (The story is told)

There’s nothing to hold on to and no one to hold (No one to hold)

Men without women are like fish without water to swim in

(Water to swim in)

With their eyes bugging out they flop on the beach

And look up at the girls who are just out of reach

[Chorus]

And they talk about the women

And they look at the girls

They’ll never know the ways of the world

They’ve got a mouthful of much obliged

And a handful of gimme

And the love for each other

Of Shadow and Jimmy

And they talk about the women

And they look at the girls

They’ll never know the ways of the world

They’ve got a mouthful of much obliged

And a handful of gimme

And the love for each other

Of Shadow and Jimmy

And the love for each other

Of Shadow and Jimmy
