If Jimmy had been asking me, I would
have answered “yes,”
Though were Jimmy anything like you,
he'd shout 'till I confessed
That my experience is not all mine, and
I'll not hide that's true.
Yes, some of it is borrowed. (Yes, and
some of it is blue.)
The secondhand experience just
supplements my own,
As one learns from others while at
school, and from oneself at home.
I gaze selfish upon my own life; on
others differently.
Since I've both lived and listened, oh,
how much more have I seen!
