Another high in the '90's in the shade for 7 days
And it won't rain before the eclipse moon
There's been a hound out my window and his name is Jimmy Fear
And he won't leave a penny when he goes
I lost my job with the union but I never lost my pride
I lost my wife to the birth of my first child
I got a job in the truck yard, Mr. Baker he can't know
But my woman ain't comin' back no more
I thanked the lord above for giving me my taste
But in that morning heat I wilt
What was he doin' when he tore me from her breast
Oh lord its midnight let it rain let it rain let it rain
Now it's a hundred degrees and it sure don't look like rain
And there's a man got a job for me downtown
If I could just shake this feelin' that I'm losing all I won
I'd be free of the dog named Jimmy Fear
2nd: (Then I'd be free of the hound named Jimmy Fear
And he won't leave a penny when he goes)
