Jimmy ran away to the USA Now he likes to drive down Mississippi way And he sleeps with the whisky on the back seat Time sure flies when you're having fun And youth is wasted on the young I could never think this true But If I know Jimmy He'll be running faster than the wind He won't wait for the wave to break Mother Mary would say you got off lightly Those other Christian souls who find those gates be closed Jimmy had his favourite music - it was playing the soul I only really loved the rock 'n' roll A million memories of a thousand yesterdays "Come along now.." I hear you say I just can't watch you fall apart Sure can't let you hide away (There's everything left to save) (You've got a great big part to play) (The camera cuts away) (And I know you're on my side) (I know you're on my side) But If I know Jimmy He'll be running faster than the wind He won't wait for the wave to break Mother Mary would say you got off lightly Those other Christian souls who find those gates be closed Colour-coded and indiscreet You run through the street Easy to see when you're not pleased I was a little too lost myself to be of any help Belisha beacon Zebras crossing How I know you loved your childhood friends Written/recorded by Tabitha Browne 2015
