Lyrics
Jimmy was some kind of rock n' roller
and those were the best days of his life
he'd roll down the window he'd let in the cold air
he'd roll down the window he'd let in the night
but Jimmy got a job 'cause he was feeling older
and in abnout a time that didn't seem right
Jimmy put his backpack on his shoulder
and Jimmy done vanished outta sight
Jimmy broke, Jimmy tired
Jimmy kissed-off. Jimmy need
Jimmy smoke, Jimmy high
Jimmy crossed-off, Jimmy bleed
Jimmy float, Jimmy fly
Jimmy fall down to his knees
Jimmy hope, Jimmy try
Jimmy lift-off, Jimmy free
Jimmy free
and there will come a time on some lonesome stretch of road
Jimmy gonna wish he set his sights
cruising through some town with some midnight food to go
staring at the blue-green dashboard lights
but there will come a song on Jimmy's buzzin' radio
and don't you know that song it will sound right
and coming up behind blue skies and halos
Jimmy gonna fight on his good fight
Jimmy broke, Jimmy tired
Jimmy kissed-off. Jimmy need
Jimmy smoke, Jimmy high
Jimmy crossed-off, Jimmy bleed
Jimmy float, Jimmy fly
Jimmy fall down to his knees
Jimmy hope, Jimmy try
Jimmy lift-off, Jimmy free
Jimmy free
