Jimmy is married and he lives down south
A Asus4
His wife lives somewhere colder
Emadd9
He sees another woman in a badlands town
A Asus4 Emadd9
And she cries upon his shoulder
Emadd9
Jimmy thinks that he's a helpless man
A Asus4
He thinks about love in a vacuum
Emadd9
And he won't remember that talk you had
A Asus4 Emadd9
When you were walking into the bedroom
[Chorus]
C Dsus2 G6
He'll say I don't know why we met
C Dsus2 G6
The simple truth is always the best

Jimmy broke locks and Jimmy broke bolts
A Asus4
Just to get himself out from under

It'll kind of make you wonder.

He'll say it's destiny we met
