DROP EVERYTHING AND RUN — текст песни (Dr. Feelgood)

(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 grass 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
