Jimmy Lafeett: Tales of a Smile, Courage, and the ALS Showdown
Lyrics
There is a guy in my hometown
Refers to a man in the singer's hometown
though he never did sign
He never formally committed to something
he is got a badge in his chest
Symbolic badge representing a duty
now his dutty is to fight
His responsibility is to combat the ALS band
against the band of the ALS
Describes the opposing group, ALS
He is the marshall in town
Introduction of the central character, Jimmy Lafeet
his name is Jimmy Laffeett
Identifies the man as Jimmy Lafeet
he is not ridding a horse,
He doesn't ride a horse
he ain't carring a gun,
He doesn't carry a gun
he is not wearing no hat
He doesn't wear a hat
cause he ain't got one
Explanation for not having a hat
But when he smiles,
Jimmy's charming smile
he can melt your soul down wih his eyes
His captivating gaze
That is the kind of guy
Describes Jimmy's character
Used to be a lumberjack
Previous profession as a lumberjack
loved to live in the woods
Preference for living in the woods
then a distant clip clop
Sound of approaching horses
from the mountains above
Indication of the ALS band's arrival
was the band of Willy ALS
Name of the opposing group
came messing arround
The ALS group causing trouble
and there he stood
Jimmy facing the ALS band
with no horse, with no gun and no hat
Reiteration of Jimmy's lack of typical gear
Jimmy never stepped back
Jimmy stands firm despite lacking weapons
"Pull in your horns"
Instruction to restrain
Jimmy said with a frown
Jimmy's serious demeanor
Willy tensed his right hand
Willy's reaction
Jimmy raised up his chin
Jimmy's response
the shot scared away the crows
Gunshot scaring away others
the deal was then done
Conflict resolution
But when he smiles,
Repeated mention of Jimmy's charming smile
he can melt your soul down wih his eyes
His captivating gaze (repeated)
That is the kind of guy
Reiteration of Jimmy's character traits
But when he smiles,
Reiteration of his charming smile
he can melt your soul down wih his eyes
His captivating gaze (repeated)
That is the kind of guy
Conclusion reiterating his impactful demeanor
