His name was James Clements We called him Jimmy I don't know why but He drank away His wife His home His children He drove away his employees And drove into 7 DUIs Though that might have been Just another lie He cut a man's throat Before rehab saved him From prison But not from death I feared him Worked for him Befriended him I drove him home when he was drunk But did not attend his funeral
