Lyrics The Ballad of Jimmy McCabe - Paul Weller

The Ballad of Jimmy McCabe

Where you gonna run now, old Jimmy?
To the dark of night now, old Jimmy
Gonna run 'till there ain’t no breath
Left inside my tired chest
Only then my life find charity
When you gonna find the strength to be
Clear your mind of the darkness that you see
I’ll run till my legs expire
Lead me down in the cold winds quite
Only there will I find purity
Look for that home coming, sweet daddy o
Look for that star shining, sweet kiddy o
I’m comin' home
Where you gonna find such charity?
As a love of loved ones, old Jimmy
I’ll beat my head 'till dawn
Figure out what I’m running from
Only then will I find piece in me
Look for that home coming, sweet daddy o
Look for that star shining, sweet kiddy o
I’m comin' home
Where you gonna go now, old Jimmy?
Down by that muddy estuary
You can’t see through the muddy waters
Fast flowing tides that order
Which direction that you need to be
Where you gonna run now?
Where you gonna run now?
Where you gonna run now, old Jimmy?
