| Jimmy was a winner back in his home town
|
| People came to see him play from miles around
|
| Then one morning he woke up and looked himself in the face
|
| Said I’m going round in circles I ain’t gettin' no place
|
| All this working for peanuts is getting way out of hand
|
| I’ve had about as much of it as I can stand
|
| Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
|
| Drop, drop everything and run
|
| I want fame, fortune, my name up in lights
|
| Goodbye small time from tonight
|
| Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
|
| Jimmy gave his notice headed down to the smoke
|
| Well it wasn’t too much later he was hungry and broke
|
| He’d been paying out good money for a hole in the wall
|
| Gigging every night and earning nothing at all
|
| Said the work that I’ve been dreaming of is way out of reach
|
| I’ve got to be a bigger pebble on a smaller beach
|
| Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
|
| Drop, drop everything and run
|
| I want fame, fortune, my name up in lights
|
| Now it’s 'hello home town, bye tonight'
|
| Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
|
| Oooh aaahhh that crazy jimmy
|
| Oooh aaahhh
|
| Back amongst his friends he had to swallow his pride
|
| 'cause he thought the grass was greener on the other side
|
| Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
|
| Drop, drop everything and run
|
| I want fame, fortune, my name up in lights
|
| Now it’s 'hello home town, bye tonight'
|
| Gonna' drop, drop everything
|
| Drop, drop everything
|
| Drop, drop everything and run |
