Everybody wants to know where Jimmy has gone
He left town
I doubt if he's coming back home
Well Tony got a job
Three kids and a lovely wife
Working at the commerce bank for
The rest of his life

Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to do the crazy things
We used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore

I'm gonna hit the road, adios my friend
Go someplace and start all over again
Don't know where I'm going
Like a gypsy out on the road
I'll go someplace and join a traveling show

Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody wants to do the crazy things
We used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore

I think Jimmy must have had the right idea
Packed his stuff and he got right out of here
I don't know where he's at but
I'm sure that he's okay
Now I realize what Jimmy was trying to say

Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody wants to do the crazy things
We used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore
