Verse 1:
Suitcase on the concourse, plane ticket in your hand -
a cityscape, a lighthouse, a beach with shifting sand.
Just tying on your shoes gave you the walking blues -
not sure where you’re going, but nothing left to lose.
Chorus:
Goodnight, Dancing Jimmy,
wherever you are…
down Stereo Alley,
deep in the dark
Whoever you follow,
Wherever you roam,
No matter the distance,
She’ll guide you home.
Verse 2:
Every building’s tired, every street is grey -
seven times seven times you just turned away.
If time and space between them won’t change how you feel -
just say “Lord, I give up - and Jesus take the wheel”.
Chorus:
Goodnight, Dancing Jimmy,
wherever you are…
down Stereo Alley,
deep in the dark
Whoever you follow,
Wherever you roam,
No matter the distance,
she’ll guide you home.
Verse 3:
Funny how sometimes you have to go and disappear -
to find yourself lost, destination crystal clear.
Chorus:
Goodnight, Dancing Jimmy,
wherever you are…
down Stereo Alley,
deep in the dark
Who will you follow?
Where will you roam?
No matter the distance,
she’ll guide you home.
