Who are you, Jimmy Cross? Internet search nuthin Some old race results A couple faded pictures Nothing that tells me Who you really are One name keeps showing up Bernie Shaw Winner of the Kentucky Drift Finals Wait..1969? Should I try to find this guy? Google didn't tell me much Just old race results and dust One black-and-white from '69 Bernie Shaw next to Jimmy Cross Address led to a swamp Almost got lost Big white house on Crawfish Lane Tie-dye curtains in the windows Purple walls and orange flames Old records spinning in the corner Lava lamps still glowing bright Pictures hanging upside down Like morning lost a fight with night He groaned slow Like"I already know What you gonna ask" Crazy ass grin Breath that smelled like sin You wanna know 'bout Jimmy Cross? Whoa oh oh Don't count the money Count the cost Whoa oh oh You can outrun every road But you only got one soul Whoa oh oh Jimmy Cross The big boss He poured sweet tea in coffee mugs Then forgot which one was mine Started talking 'bout the moonlight Like it used to change the time Said he raced in twenty-seven states Maybe fifty, maybe three Started laughing at the wallpaper Said it laughs right back at me You think he's buying race cars? No You think he came cuz you wished upon a star? No You think you're gonna go far? No You wanna know 'bout Jimmy Cross? Whoa oh oh Don't count the money Count the cost Whoa oh oh He'll make you love him sooo But you only got one soul Whoa oh oh Jimmy Cross Mucho hot sauce As I turned to leave Bernie yelled from the porch I looked back He smiled, "You're already on his map If you sign the dotted line There ain't no lookin back Cuz there won't be no shadow behind ya" I tried to get Bernie to say more But he just shook his head And waved goodbye Well, alrighty then!
