Back in his hay day Jimmy used to play In a Rock N Roll band on the county fair stage They opened for some pretty big names But their big break never came These days Jimmy don't go too far He's worn a path in the floor between the jukebox and the bar Smokin' and drinkin' and cursin' about his union dues But every Thursday night he's in the limelight Singin' his heart out for the bar flies The Karaoke King reliving his glory days He'd Sing If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me Baby be a simple kind of man Bill I believe this is killing me as the smile ran away from his face But I swear that I could be a movie star if I could get out of this place Now Jimmy's got his buzz on he's feelin' pretty good Knockin' back the bottom shelf like we knew he would Slurrin' his words and swayin' in his seat Telling big fish stories nobody believes Brenda at the bar has got a pretty heavy pour He spends half his pay here the rest on child support He flirts with the young girls but they just walk away He'll show 'em what he's got when he's up on the stage So don't stop believing, hold on to that feeling Take it to the limit Everything dies baby, that's a fact Maybe everything that dies someday comes back Put your make up on, put your hair up pretty Cuz tramps like us, baby we were born to run It's last call and Jimmy orders one more But he can never drink enough to find what he's lookin' for Fires up the Ford and turns on the radio It says Now that it's raining more than ever, know that we'll still have each other You can stand under my umbrella Turns it off and drives the rest of the way Swervin' and cursin' about the kids these days Walks in the door to greet his sadness Reaches for a magazine under the mattress Gets what he needs and falls off to sleep Dreamin' about his broken dreams Bye bye Miss American Pie, drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin' this will be the day that I die I'm so lonesome I could cry Nothing really matters, anyone can see Nothing really matters to me
