mr jerry's ghost - dan smalley lyrics

[verse 1]
five am, a baby cries
a handgun fires outside across the street
a woman wakes up from her sleep
he’s been away since yesterday
she knows he’s probably drunk and now she’s wide awake
watching the lights flash out the window as she
tries to calm the baby down
hoping it’s not her missing husband on the ground

[verse 2]
he waits up with a hurting hand
hand cuffed to a hospital bed and a long line
of people happy he’s still alive
pacing back his misplaced steps
with one long instance wiped clean from his head
now he might be better off dеad
’cause the headlights [?] thе almost tragedy
drunk man breaks in accidentally

[verse 3]
jerry white was 68
a gun club and [?] stamped on his license plate
dropped the charges the same day
he said he’s usually a better shot
he said he might’ve had a second thought, hard to know for sure
with someone kicking down your door
but lucky for that boy the bullet’s missed his heart
it’s hard to recognize your drunk ass neighbor in the dark
[verse 4]
young man paid the damage off
hadn’t had one drop since those two shots
supposed to k!ll him, didn’t, somehow saved his life instead
but january brought a better range
the sirens came and this time they were just too late
old man jerry’s heart gave way
now every morning the boy stares down the road
and says a prayer for mr jerry’s ghost
