lyrics

Jeremiah Nixon

Jeremiah Nixon lived way out in the sticks
Jeremiah Nixon lived way out in the sticks
no-one knew what he was doin’ or what was going down
sometimes at night, we’d hear Jeremiah howl
some nights we’d hear ol’ Jeremiah howl

The townsfolk stayed away from Jeremiah Nixon
they kept their distance from Jeremiah Nixon
sure enough, me & some other kids snuck out into the woods
sometimes we’d see him but we never understood
we used to watch him but we never understood

Jeremiah, Jeremiah Nixon
Jeremiah, Jeremiah Nixon

Jeremiah Nixon was a mystery to most
ol’ Jeremiah remained a mystery to most
some said that he was crazy, dangerous & wild
but he was just alone with his memory and his mind
all alone with his memory and his mind

One day they found the the body of Jeremiah Nixon
they found the corpse of ol’ Jeremiah Nixon
he died in his cabin way out in the woods
he was a man nobody ever understood
he died a man nobody ever understood

Jeremiah, Jeremiah Nixon
Jeremiah, Jeremiah Nixon

Now the years have passed and I’ve seen what life can do
the years have gone and now I know what life can do
my divorce took all my pride, my ex-wife took my son
sometimes I feel like Jeremiah Nixon
I wanna howl just like Jeremiah Nixon

Jeremiah, Jeremiah Nixon
Jeremiah, Jeremiah Nixon
