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’ ass
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
I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind,
I left my body laying somewhere in the sands of time,
I see the world float to the dark side of the moon,
I feel there’is nothing I can do, yeah
I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon,
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you,
I really don’t mind what happens now and then,
As long as you’ll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be there holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Cryptonite
You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep,
You took for granted all the times I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head,
Not for me then you would be dead,
I picked you up and put you back on solid ground,
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be there holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite… Yeah!!
If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be there holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with my superhuman might,
Cryptonite
Before you’re pointed at me
There is a possibility
You better turn that thing around
The fits come easily
So don’t you tread on me
Cause I will knock you down
Some days it seems it’s not worth it
The fight in me is all gone
And I’m not trying to be perfect
But just get one damn thing done
Before I lose control
I pick myself from the floor
Before you’re pointed at me
There is a possibility
You better turn that thing around
The fits come easily
So don’t you tread on me
Cause I will knock you down
Never come a day that I’ll solve you
Consequently I could never leave you
In the shadow of those looming battleships
I love our canoe
I’m ready for the falls
And those still waters we will find are true
Oh there’s a clock in my head
And despite what it says
Another one on the wall
They don’t agree at all
And there’s a schism in me
And despite what you see
You might see me as calm
But I go out like a bomb
Before you’re pointed at me
There is a possibility
You better turn that thing around
The fits come easily
So don’t you tread on me
Cause I will knock you down
Whoa
Oh in the comfort of strangers
You don’t see the danger
Of just letting it flow
This I know
Before you’re pointed at me
There is a possibility
You better turn that thing around
The fits come easily
So don’t you tread on me
Cause I will knock you down
