WHERE'S JIMMY 090512 - HAIRCUT
The song tells the story…
“You are tuned to WBAP, Fort Worth, Texas.”
Daddy asked, “Where is Jimmy?” Daddy asking, “Where is Jimmy?”
Daddy asking, “Where is Jimmy, now?”
Daddy asked, “Where is Jimmy?” Daddy wondering, “Where is Jimmy?”
Daddy asking, “Where is Jimmy, now?”
My daddy loved in Jasper, Tennessee and I live in Fort Worth, Texas
I bought a house for him and Mom to live in
But they were pretty much stuck in that house they lived in for so many years
After Mom died, Dad was taken care of by a woman named Sheri
One day Sheri called and said that Dad had died
Daddy asked, “Where is Jimmy?” Daddy asking, “Where is Jimmy?”
Daddy wondering, “Where is Jimmy, now?”
Daddy dyin’, “Where is Jimmy?” Daddy wondering, “Where is Jimmy?”
Daddy is asking, “Where is Jimmy, now?”
I wondered why she didn’t call me. Why she didn’t call me
And tell me that Dad was dying.
I would have been there, and I know Dad had to be asking
“Where is Jimmy? Where is Jimmy? Has anybody called Jimmy?”
Daddy asking, “Where is Jimmy?” Daddy wondering, “Where is Jimmy?”
Daddy wondering, “Where is Jimmy, now?”
We buried Dad up n a hill next to Mom outside of Jasper
Full military funeral. I have the flag in the basement.
I can’t stop the voice in my head, Dad asking’, “Where is Jimmy.”
“It’s a song for Lloyd Taylor out there in Jasper. Tennessee.”

Oh, yeah this wonderful. Really well pitched, could've been so over-sentimental but it's not. Love it.
Grabs the attention from the off. Wonderful vocal harmonies. I like the alternating narrating and singing and the music is very pretty.
