Name: Jimmy My Man
Duration: P00H01M20S
Description: This "vision" came to me out of my experience I think working a Milwaukee factory for a year to save money for art school.

lyrics

Jimmy my man arrives at 6a.m. with his radio on
the station that he likes we talk about the fight last night

he pours himself a coffee as only he can do
and pages through the paper as he listens to the news
he comments on the state of the politics of fools and

Jimmy my man arrives at 6a.m. with his lunch pail there
swingin from his hand an apple cheese and ham on rye
