The Ballad of Jimmy McCabe

Where you gonna run now, old Jimmy?
To the dark of night now, old Jimmy.
Gonna run 'till there ain't no breath
Left inside my tired chest,
Only then my life find charity.

When you gonna find the strength to be,
Clear your mind of the darkness that you see.
I'll run till my legs expire
Lead me down in the cold winds quite,
Only there will I find purity.

Look for that home coming, sweet daddy'o
Look for that star shining, sweet kiddio
I'm coming home.

Where you gonna find such charity,
As a love of loved ones, old Jimmy
I'll beat my head 'till dawn
Figure out what I'm running from,
Only then will I find piece in me.

Look for that home coming, sweet daddy'o
Look for that star shining, sweet kiddio
I'm coming home.

Where you gonna go now, old Jimmy?
Down by that muddy estuary
You can't see through the muddy waters,
Fast flowing tides that order
Which direction that you need to be.

Where you gonna run now?
Where you gonna run now?
Where you gonna run now, old Jimmy?
