Out on the road
Most men are strangers
With tired eyes
Living on wagers
In need of something, they look at
I turn away, it's all a good girl can do
But I saw your smile before saw your eyes
My shoulders loosened, my boots untied
I couldn't stop looking and I caught your eye
In that moment I didn't need to know why
But, Oh, Jimmy, where have you gone?
I last saw you dancing, calling the sun
You spun me around at dawn
Then you just carried on
Dancing down the road
Over the mountains to the Ohio
You found a bridge on the road
Do you still groove from your soul?
Oh, Jimmy
Have you made it to the ocean?
Did you already find your friend?
Is she still riding bareback at the coast of Lands End?
Or are you still looking for her?
Did you take another detour?
Do you think you'll ever make it back home?
Oh, Jimmy, where have you gone?
I last saw you dancing, calling the sun
You spun me around at dawn
Then you just carried on
Dancing down the road
Over the mountains to the Ohio
You found a bridge on the road
Do you still groove from your soul?
Oh, Jimmy
Along the way did you lose your enemies?
Did they fall off of your heels when you ran into the sea?
I hope you made it to the end of your rainbow
Hope you're not still out in the cold rain and snow
If you come back will you remember me
As another dancing partner, another fish in the sea?
Or will you recognize me like you did back then
As a long-lost kindred spirit, a lover and a friend
Oh, Jimmy, where have you gone?
I last saw you dancing, calling the sun
You spun me around at dawn
Then you just carried on
Dancing down the road
Over the mountains to the Ohio
You found a bridge on the road
Do you still groove from your soul?
Oh, Jimmy, where have you gone?
I last saw you dancing, calling the sun
You spun me around at dawn
Then you just carried on
Dancing down the road
Over the mountains to the Ohio
You found a bridge on the road
Do you still groove from your soul?
Oh, Jimmy
