Jimmy

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Jimmy wakes up hoping today will be a better day,

hoping somehow today will be better than yesterday.

Frustration, hate, and lies and anger are all he sees today.

What a lame day when Jimmy hasn't even left his bed.

If Jimmy leaves his room he knows just what's in store.

A house full of drama and he can't take no more.

Then his brother stops and glares and stares and says,

"You think you're better than me!"

What's going on why won't they let Jimmy be?

And Jimmy said...

[Chorus:]

I'm not going home tonight

It just don't feel right.

I'm gonna have to stay out late.

I've gotta figure this one out

On these lonely streets oh yeah,

And it's the only way.

Jimmy's parents argue about the house.

"Where's the dinner?" Dad yells.

Mom says, "I had to buy a blouse."

Why is the house such a mess, what did you do today?

Mother yells back, "You just don't love me anyway!"

The gum in Jimmy's mouth had already lost it's taste

when Jimmy decided to give up and walk away.

Then he found himself on the streets feeling all alone.

And all he wants now is to be back home.

And Jimmy said
