“Jimmy’s Road” Lyrics
(Verse 1) Down on Jimmy’s Road, the world turns around, With a small-town heart in a big, big town, People that you meet, they can be a bit cold, They’ve got big city lives, and they’re lost in the gold.
(Chorus) But Jimmy’s got a smile, a smile that’s real, He knows who he is, and he knows how to feel, Walking down the street, he’s a king in his stride, He’s got his own way, he’s got nothing to hide.
(Verse 2) In the crowded streets, Jimmy finds his space, He’s got a guitar and a smiling face, He sings his songs, and he strums his strings, In a world of pretense, he’s the real thing.
(Chorus) Jimmy’s road is long, winding, and true, He’s singing for me, he’s singing for you, Through the ups and downs, he’s standing tall, On Jimmy’s road, we find it all.
(Bridge) Sometimes life’s a puzzle, and the pieces don’t fit, But Jimmy’s road is where we find our true grit, He’s been down and out, but he still believes, In the power of music and the love it conceives.
(Chorus) So here’s to Jimmy and his road so long, A troubadour’s journey, a life’s sweet song, With his guitar in hand and his spirit so free, He’s the voice of the road, for you and me.
(Outro) Down on Jimmy’s Road, under starlit skies, We find our own truths, we spread our own lies, But through it all, let the music be your guide, On Jimmy’s Road, let your heart open wide.
