Jimmy and me, best friends since we were three Played cops and robbers, patients and doctors, thicker than thieves My daddy told me that people like those gotta earn their way His daddy said "don't miss your shot, son, 'cause some boys are born on third base" Then they kissed us goodnight, with a glint in their eyes Well we grew up just fine. Jimmy went to work in the mines I went to college in Tulsa and came home to take what was mine I dug for gold in the pockets of soldiers' and farmers' sons And he dug for coal and came home with nothing but cancer in his lungs Try as we might, we couldn't find our way back to the light Well I remember that day - I was sitting in my office at the bank When Jimmy walked in and flashed me a grin I'd never seen on his face Shotgun in hand he said "it's time to pay up little man I'm here as a robber, a cop, and a doctor and a patient, my friend This is the end - our reckoning" Then he emptied the vault and left his gun out on the walk I heard the feds took him down in a barn just outside Wichita And I made a show for the cameras - thanked God and the FDIC But why does it feel like there were two souls, not one, who just almost got free Of the glint in our eyes and the cancer inside
