Hey Jimmie

Lyrics

Well, little Jimmie Thomas Was the boy of every mother's dreams His yearbook read: "I want it all, I want to do everything" Well, now, people love it when winners lead So they voted Jimmie "the most likely to succeed" Jimmie, hey, Jimmie, oh, you made us proud And Jimmie, say Jimmie, you're the man of the hour With Jimmie, with Jimmie, we rise and we fall Little Jimmie Thomas you're the best in us all The best in us all Well now, Jimmie grew to be A man of wealth, fortune and fame You know the kind of man That people love to say they know And to call by his first name (Yo, Jimmie, what's up!) He says there's only one on which you can rely And I see him in the mirror Every morning and every night Hey, Jimmie, hey, Jimmie, oh, you made us proud And Jimmie, say Jimmie, you're the man of the hour With Jimmie, with Jimmie, we rise and we fall Little Jimmie Thomas you're the best in us all, hey! Out on a lonely country road On a late November night Jimmie held 44 reasons to give up on his life There was an old abandoned church Stood just across the road With a little faded sign that waved to and fro To and fro What does it profit a man to gain this world Profit a man to gain this whole world Profit a man to gain this world But to lose his very soul Jimmie, hey Jimmie, oh, you made us proud But Jimmie, say Jimmie, what's happened to you now With Jimmie, with Jimmie, we rise and we fall In little Jimmie Thomas, I see the worst in us all
