Dr. Feelgood - Drop Everything And Run lyrics

(wingfield/vernon/foster) Jimmy was a winner back in his home town People came to see him play from miles around Then one morning he woke up and looked himself in the face Said i'm going round in circles i ain't gettin' no place All this working for peanuts is getting way out of hand I've had about as much of it as i can stand Gonna' drop, drop everything and run Drop, drop everything and run I want fame, fortune, my name up in lights Goodbye small time from tonight Gonna' drop, drop everything and run Jimmy gave his notice headed down to the smoke Well it wasn't too much later he was hungry and broke He'd been paying out good money for a hole in the wall Gigging every night and earning nothing at all Said the work that i've been dreaming of is way out of reach I've got to be a bigger pebble on a smaller beach Gonna' drop, drop everything and run Drop, drop everything and run I want fame, fortune, my name up in lights Now it's 'hello home town, bye tonight' Gonna' drop, drop everything and run Oooh aaahhh that crazy jimmy Oooh aaahhh Back amongst his friends he had to swallow his pride 'cause he thought the gra** was greener on the other side Gonna' drop, drop everything and run Drop, drop everything and run I want fame, fortune, my name up in lights Now it's 'hello home town, bye tonight' Gonna' drop, drop everything Drop, drop everything Drop, drop everything and run
