38 Special - Jimmy Gillum lyrics

I was raised up on the west side of town That's where I met Jimmy Gillum Baddest man around He'd rather fight than eat Mister That's no lie If you cross him up smile and wave goodbye Bad bad Jimmy baddest man alive He was dynamite in a small pack His fuse was short He didn't cut no slack Oh that Jimmy Gillum was a bad cat Chorus Talk about trouble You talk about mean Jimmy was the baddest cat I've ever seen You talk about trouble Should've been his name Jimmy never pulled a punch He was a fightin' machine Yeah he was he was a fightin' machine Now I recall one night at the Sugar Bowl That's a honky tonk where Jimmy goes Yeah the One Percent were burnin' up the stage In walk Jimmy in a drunken daze Ready to fight son in the worst way So I ran for cover behind the stage Bottles started flyin' I began to pray Please oh Lord don't let him look my way Chorus It's been years since I saw Jimmy last When I pulled into a jiffy the other day Just to get some gas I heard this guy screamin' next to me Turn on this pump you dirty S. O. B To my surprise it was Jimmy alive and well Jumped in my car and took off fast Knew in a minute he'd be kickin' a** Oh that Jimmy Gillum was a bad cat Chorus Yea he was talk about trouble, talk about trouble Yeaaaaoooowwww talk about trouble Yea that boy was bad to the bone talk about trouble Play it boys sound good Us Gillums never die we just fade away Ummmmm trouble boy
