Lyrics Drive-By Truckers

Drive-By Truckers

Get Downtown

Kim said, "Jimmy, you better get yourself

Op off of that raggedy couch

I'm too pretty to work and I'm tired

Of you uglying up my house"

Jimmy said, "Baby, the guys at the top

Are doing bad as the guys on the street"

Kim said, "The guys at the top ain't about

To be paying alimony to me"

Get downtown, see what you can find

Put your face in someone's that ain't mine

Looks like the unemployment blues

Are wearing out your house shoes

Baby, left when your boots came untied

Jimmy said, "Baby, ain't you seen the news

It's as far as the eyes can see

Foreigners are coming in and doing our jobs

For half of what they would've paid me"

You mean half of what you would've made

For something you've never done

Sounds like the bright side to all this

Jimmy is you're asking price went up

Now get downtown, see what you can find

Put your face in someone's that ain't mine

Looks like the unemployment blues

Are wearing out your house shoes

Baby, left when your boots came untied

Jimmy said, "Baby, if I work for you're daddy

It's worse than being his son"

Kim didn't like what he said one bit

And it didn't surprise him none

She said, "My daddy took good enough care of my mama

She hardly had to say a thing"

Jimmy said, "That's part of what's wrong"

Kim said, "Don't you say another damn thing"

Just get downtown, see what you can find

Put your face in someone's that ain't mine

Looks like the unemployment blues

Are wearing out your house shoes

Baby, left when your boots came untied
