about

From the prompt, "What was that thing that happened to you that one time?" The answer, from Ron Heneghan, "Jim fell out of the back of my truck." I turned this song out without ever knowing the real story behind that suggestion. I still don't. I don't think I ever want to know.

lyrics

When Jim fell out the back of my truck
I didn't even see it
It happened when the clutch got stuck
And I worked to try to free it
By the time I hit the curve, I'd lost my buddy Irv
But he was standing up so that's on him
I'm sad to see him go, but I feel better knowing
He's with Jim

When Jim fell out the back of my truck
I didn't really worry
He'd always had that Irish luck
And I was in a hurry
I guess I should seen when I lost that trampoline
The one that we threw back there on a whim
But if it couldn't stay, I hope it found it's way to
Irv and Jim

When Jim fell out the back of my truck
Nothing changed inside me
And I don't mean to pass the buck
But no one notified me
I probably should have slowed
When I hit that gravel road
I admit at that point things were looking grim
I wish somebody'd said, we should stop instead
And look for Jim

When Jim fell out the back of my truck
He took out Steve and Andy
And Jack and Jean and Bill and Buck
Bartholomew and Sandy
Not long after they were gone
I lost Dave and Paul and Ron
But in my defense they weren't buckled in
And I'll miss the whole damn gang, but mostly I'll miss hanging round with Jim

(Hey Jim, where'd you go Jim?)
