You Don't Mess Around with Jim Studio album by Jim Croce Released May 1972 Recorded 1971-1972, The Hit Factory, New York City Genre Folk rock, Folk pop Length 33:22 Label ABC (USA) Vertigo (UK) Producer Terry Cashman, Tommy West Professional reviews Allmusic link Jim Croce chronology Jim & Ingrid Croce (1969) You Don't Mess Around with Jim (1972) Life & Times (1973) You Don't Mess Around with Jim is an album by American singer-songwriter Jim Croce, released in 1972 (See 1972 in music). Contents 1 Title track 2 Covers 3 Track listing 4 Personnel 5 Production 6 Charts // Title track The album's three singles, title track (Pop #8), "Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels) and "Time in a Bottle" written after Ingrid Croce told Jim that she was pregnant with their first child, A.J. Croce, (Pop #1) are among his most identifiable songs. The lyrics of the title track concerns the fate of a 'pool-shooting son-of-a-gun' by the name of 'Big' Jim Walker when his 'mark,' Slim, from a south Alabama Honkytonk shows up to get a refund from being hustled or get revenge. The song is notable for the line "You don't tug on Superman's cape/You don't spit into the wind/You don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger/And you don't mess around with Jim." However, after the song ends with Jim being thoroughly thrashed by his victim ("he'd been cut 'n 'bout a hundred places/ and he'd been shot in a couple more"), the chorus now sings about how "You don't mess around with Slim." Covers The song "You Don't Mess Around with Jim" has been covered by Poison on Look What the Cat Dragged In, Ty Herndon on What Mattered Most, Josh Turner on Long Black Train, and by Donna Fargo on My Second Album.
