John Paul White - James Lyrics

WELL HELLO, MY NAME IS JAMES
HAVEN'T WE ALREADY MET
IT SEEMS WE HAVE BY THIS PHOTOGRAPH
SITTING BESIDE MY BED

TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOU
TELL ME A LITTLE BOUT ME
OLD BITS AND PIECES
WITH WRINKLES AND CREASES
ARE ALL OF MY PAST I SEE

BUT I REMEMBER I WAS A MARINE
THEY BENT ME INTO A MACHINE
THEN SPIT ME OUT - SHIPPED ME BACK SOUTH
INVOLUNTARILY

HELLO MY NAME IS JAMES
I DON'T BELIEVE I CAUGHT YOURS
I USED TO BE GREAT AT FACES AND THINGS
BUT THEY DON'T STICK LIKE BEFORE
THERE'S A WOMAN OUT THERE IN THE HALLWAY
THE PRETTIEST THING I'VE SEEN
IT MAKES NO SENSE
BUT SHE'D PASS FOR THE TWIN
OF THE GIRL I GAVE MY CLASS RING

BUT I REMEMBER MY GTO
I'D RACE IT DOWN RABBIT TRAIL ROAD
BUT I GAVE THAT UP WHEN I HAD A PUP
HE'D BE ABOUT YOUR AGE OR SO

WELL HELLO, MY NAME IS JAMES
HAVEN'T WE ALREADY MET
IT SEEMS WE HAVE BY THIS PHOTOGRAPH
SITTING BESIDE MY BED
