Well now stage right enter Jimmy, just a counterfeit James Dean
with a pocket full of delta blues and cheap amphetamine
Her feet up on the dashboard like a burned out Betty Paige
Aw she might have been pretty if she was half her age
But together they were something, just closing down the bars
Headed down to Okie City in a slightly stolen car
The folks were decent people, they didn't like they're kind
It's coming home, coming home
Ain't nothing like a family to make you feel so damned alone
You should've brought flowers, should've got daddy's gun
Aint nobody waiting on the prodigal son
Well they pulled out into traffic, moved in behind the hearse
