The Other Jerry Jeff Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Jerry Jeff Walker 

Let me tell you a little story about a trip I made to Mexico, with some friends 

Of mine that had a pocket full of Mauis and some bad intentions.... 

Me and old Sue and this feller we knew went down to Mexico 

To have a little fun and soak up the sun 

And drink a little tequila don't you know 

One thing led to another, we got pretty drunk it's true 

We wound up in a sleazy old bar that gringos don't go to 

After that it gets hazy, but I think what a happened to me 

I wound up getting rolled in an alley and missing all of my ID 

Chorus: 

Two Jerry Jeff's are in this world, 

Both using one ID 

The other guy ain't got an idea, 

How hard being me can be 

Well if he thinks it's gonna be easy, 

Think that he oughta think twice 

With a high expectation and my reputation, 

Man he's leading a dangerous life 

Now I can see him at a bar downtown 

At a place where I've just been 

And if I've caused trouble, 

Well I know right and ready, 

That it's gonna be hard on him 

Only last night, I heard rumors, about a guy that looked like me 

Dancing on tables, singing Redneck Mother, 

People said that he said he was me 

Well you can check out his ID, you get a fake one easily 

I guess it gets you down to the cold hard facts 

That there probably really is two of me 

Chorus 

Spoken: 

Alright here's the thrilling conclusion of this wild whodunit... 

Looking back on my past, sometimes has been a pretty strange ride 

And I find it gets harder with time, to seperate the facts from the lies 

People mention places to me I never been before in this life 

Could it be me that they're talking about, 

Or maybe it's really some other guy.. 

He's the wild one chasing women, getting those DWIs 

That would explain my wild reputation, if it's made by two different guys 

Chorus
