Lyrics
Jimmy Wilder grew up in a hillside home
With two Mercedes in the drive
Private lessons and the nanny cooked his meals
This was Jimmy Wilder's life
The grade school teachers noticed there was something wrong
Jim was always picking fights
He gave up high school for the pool halls and the bars
Stayed out late most every night
Jimmy's parents wondered where it all went wrong
They gave him every chance in life
But all was lost, a wire got crossed, deep within his mind
And Jim became a problem child
The local papers told the grisly front page news
Murder Shocks Our Little Town
He was sipping Cuervo at the Crazy Horse saloon
When they finally tracked him down
Jimmy's parents wondered where it all went wrong
They gave him every chance in life
But all was lost, a wire got crossed, deep within his mind
And Jim became a problem child
Jim was smilin' as he shuffled down the hall
The warden looked on with a frown
A lethal cocktail followed Jimmy's final meal
And Jimmy finally settled down
Jimmy's parents wondered where it all went wrong
They gave him every chance in life
But all was lost, a wire got crossed, deep within his mind
And Jim became a problem child
