The Rifles Local Boy Lyrics

Jimmy was a local boy, but he's seen much more than a change in the weather
Sitting in a uniform of the three-piece suit and ribbons from his past
Looking for alittle boy at the bar with the mouth who thinks he's clever now
Dreaming of a day that he got home from a war to his childhood sweetheart

Now he don't need anyone, theres no-one there for him,
Just a feeling, of an empty place, deter eating

Jimmy's always been a local, but he's seen much more than i'm bound to ever
A member of a dying breed that sat and wait as it all just falls apart
Thinking of a day that's oh so long ago, he can't remember right
There was a time a man can still be a man and proud to use his heart

Now he don't need anyone, theres no-one there for him,
There was really only one,
Now he misses how she sounds,he frowns,
He lines them up and he puts them down
It's sad, this town
Seems to fail to appreciate the man

Now he don't need anyone, theres no-one there for him,
No he don't feel any more, coz jimmy's so thicked skinned
And a long, long time ago, when he could break her heart
There was really only one,

Now he misses how she sounds,he frowns,
He lines them up and he puts them down
It's sad, this town
Seems to fail to appreciate
what he's about
Lines them up and puts them down
It's sad this town seems to fail to appreciate the man
