THE BALLAD OF WINNIE AND JIM

Winnie was a good one raised in a changing world
Never thought about grades just a daydreaming dizzy girl
And Winnie had a man and a kid on the way
Barely old enough to look after themselves they′d say
But She never did care just dreamed of a home by the sea
Where The air was so clean you could reach out and almost believe
Oh and Jim was around for the ride he said
No kid of his would ever grow up with a dead beat dad
And he loved Winnie more than even she could have know
So they left for the coast, just the 2 of them and baby in tow

And when the nights got hard and the money ran low
Jim would grab her by the hand and pull her in close
Say there's no moment here that I′d trade for a pot of their gold
We're gona sit here watching the sun dance till we get old

And I'll give you everything you want
And I′ll give you Everything you need
Well I′ll give you everything you want
And I'll give you everything you need


So time rumbled on soon 2 hungry mouths became three
Jimmy got himself a job of the deadbeat variety
But there′s food on the table and blood in his mouth
He don't mind the taste, used to it now
So he looked to the sky and he thought well the boys done good
Winnie said Jim you gave me the life you promised you would

And when the nights got hard and the money ran low
Jim would grab her by the hand and pull her in close
Said there′s no moment here that I'd trade for a pot of their gold
We′re gona sit here watching the sun dance till we get old

And I'll give you everything you want
And I'll give you everything you need
And I′ll give you everything you want
And I′ll give you everything you need

But jimmy got sick as the summer went on
So Winnie had to pick up where he'd left off
They sat and held his hand as the sleep rolled in
And loved him just the same as she always did
They′d sit and talk about when the doubts were raised
And how they Proved them wrong each time and time again

And when the nights got hard and the money ran low
Jim would grab her by the hand and pull her in close
Said there's no moment here that I′d trade for a pot of their gold
We're gona sit here watching the sun dance till we get old


And I′ll give you everything you want
And I'll give you Everything you need
And I'll give you everything you want
And I′ll give you everything you need
Yer I′ll give you everything you want
And I'll give you everything you need
Well I′ll give you everything you want
And I'll give you everything you need
