Like a child needs a mother
Jimmy once belonged somewhere
He said he'd go back home someday
I shared my last beer with him
And heard what he had to say
A thousand miles don't seem much
No one welcomes a traveling man
But I bet they sleep much bet
He said, I guess it was my own fault
Although I tried to do my best
All I own is what I'm wearing
And all the whiskey took the rest
Now, son, I see you're a young man
You know I've been as young as you
A thousand miles don't seem much
No one welcomes a traveling man
But I beg to sleep much better
After leaving the bar that evening,
But if you ever meet someone like
Jimmy, make sure to call and friend
Cause nobody deserves the
darkness of be ing all alone
So here's a song for all the jimmies
and I hope they make it home
A thousand miles I drifted
A thousand miles don't seem much
no one welcomes a traveling man
But I bet they sleep much
A thousand miles I'd lift
A thousand miles don't seem much
no one welcomes a traveling man
But I bet they sleep much
Oh yes, I bet they sleep much
