Jimmie got lucky
Out of town for the weekend
Ready to raise some hell
Break some rules, act the fool
No one would ever tell
His wedding ring safe in his duffle
His family far away
Neon blaze through Tequila haze
Good judgment held at bay
Blonde hair, blue eyes
Trolling at the bar
Dangerous curves from here to there
It was lust at first sight
He took too long to make his move
Another guy got to her
They hit it off, they left together
Jimmie cursed his luck
She didn’t have the test back
She probably didn’t know
The virus lurked within her
But had yet to take its toll
Jimmie got lucky
Didn’t know it at the time
Just in time
He changed his mind
And lived another day
Last call was one too many
Jimmy staggered to his truck
Flashing lights are hard to heed
When your belly’s full of beer
The westbound Freight is hard to slow
When obstacles appear
