[Intro]    [Verse] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Oooh aaahhh     x4

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l’histoire de Jimmy, un jeune homme qui, après avoir connu le succès dans sa ville natale, se sent frustré par sa vie stagnante. En quête de gloire et de reconnaissance, il décide tout plaquer pour tenter sa chance dans une grande ville. Cependant, il réalise rapidement que la réalité n’est pas aussi simple qu’il l’espérait : il se retrouve fauché et loin de ses rêves, découvrant que l'herbe n'est pas toujours plus verte ailleurs. Cette quête de succès et le retour à la réalité illustrent souvent les défis que l'on rencontre lorsqu'on veut abandonner son quotidien pour quelque chose de meilleur. C'est une invitation à réfléchir sur le sens de la réussite et le prix à payer pour réaliser ses ambitions.
