The Other Jerry Jeff

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

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

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

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

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
