I got tired of waiting so I moved it. This is the earlier of two versions, this ones AABB, the other one was AACBBC, cant find it as easily and some people said it was too "poem" and too "structured". I got my fireproof nomex suit on, lmao, i can take it on the chin. Wheres finsterx with my brutally honest kick in the nuts? I got my cup on...lmao.
Jimmy's Apple Trees (c)2001
had a friend in jimmy but I didn't like him much
not a thing in common we were really outta touch
friend or two in common and I really had to try
didn' think about it much, never wonder why
if it wasn't for a hunt then i dont think I'd even try
now i feel so guilty letting all this time go by
wasn't till you took me to the apple grove that year
that i really had a reason to decide to keep you near
(begin chorus)
now that you're all gone i really miss a quiet time
when patience was a virtue and impatience is a crime
taught me to be patient and you taught me just to wait
that a deer will come to you when you are near an apple bait
we are really far apart, only friends can be
jimmy's gun is way too big, waiting in the freeze
seems to take forever when youre patient you will see
that a deer is gonna wander into jimmy's apple trees
(end chorus)
Cordless phones are lovely when i listen in to win
dialing in a frequency and learning all the sins
all i really care about 'n all i wanna hear
is for you to say "I'm sorry" then you never know i'm here
instead i hear you laughing while i'm sitting in a car
"can't wait to get that money" now you really went too far
'cos I can be a patient man...never rash or bold
'n i can wait for winter when that apple grove is cold
(chorus)
don' know what you thought about if anythign at all
you shoulda kept that junk away from jimmy in the fall
know that you were thinkin' no one cares a-bout the boy
thought it would be easy take a life we all enjoy
gonna give you lots of time, maybe change your mind
but then i'm gonna bait you in and let you know you're mine
I know what you did now though i wasnt even there
and i can wait for winter time to show you how i care
(chorus)
now you got the mon-ey, and you're callin' on a phone
you dont know its me you call, or recognize the tone
glad you got the money and you wanna make a buy
you know where to drop that cash and keep on walkin' by
walk on to the phone booth, theres a number there to call
i'll tell you where to go and when so you can have a ball
patience is a virtue if you wait then you will see
special package waiting for you, in the apple trees
(chorus)
you really are a lovely girl, really just a dear
now you're all alone and i'm the only one thats here
you see a note from jimmy, with the money wonder how
jimmy has a gift for you, you've earned it baby POW!
everybody wondered where his special gun had went
i think its really funny how the message has been sent
I leave a couple words now on the stock for all to see
"special love from jimmy from beyond the apple trees"
(chorus)
...that a dear is gonna wander into jimmy's apple trees...
