Lyrics: 12 Main Street

 
 
 
 


My name is Jimmy Wilcox from Columbia, Missouri
I serve Uncle Sam in Nam in Bravo company
got me a honey at home, her name’s Lucy
she looks as pure as snow in her bed at 12 Main Street

My name is Lucy Wilcox from Columbia, Missouri
last night I got a call from Mike from Bravo company
told me Jimmy’s been missing since the battle of Quang Tri
but I won’t be left alone cryin’ at 12 Main Street

Chorus:
From the feverish and violent Mekong Delta
to the peaceful pinewoods of Columbia
I’m shootin’ a bullet of love from me to you
at 12 Main Street

It’s still old Jimmy from Columbia, Missouri
Searched and got destroyed, cut off my Bravo company
Somehow made it down the Road to Peace away from Charlie
Now all I want’s to get back home to 12 Main Street

Chorus:
From the feverish and violent Mekong Delta
to the peaceful pinewoods of Columbia
I’m shootin’ a bullet of love from me to you
at 12 Main Street

One last time it’s Jimmy from Columbia, Missouri
got hit by friendly fire from my Bravo company
now I’m trottin’ through a country that’s stranger than Quang Tri
where the enemy lives down at 12 Main Street

Chorus:
From the feverish and violent Mekong Delta
to the peaceful pinewoods of Columbia
I’m shootin’ a bullet of love from me to you
at 12 Main Street

From the feverish and violent Mekong Delta
to the peaceful pinewoods of Columbia
I’m savin’ a bullet of love for me and you
at 12 Main Street
