Jimmy said its not easy being the king of the world,
Gets harder every day.
Somebody's gotta do the job, ya know?
So it might as well be me.
Bought himself a one way ticket,
On a greyhound bus bound for Santa Fe,
Left everyone behind he'd ever known,
Just faded away...
Jimmy found himself,
A lover down in Hollywood.
He was a good man,

Stretched out forever,
Like the rays of light,
From some long dead distant star.
And I thought to myself,
What have I done with this life of mine?
Besides finding myself in this smoke-filled bar,
And I said,
Oh I ain't comin home tonight,
No don't wait up for me.
No I ain't comin home tonight,
Said I'm finally free,
I'm finally free.
And time rolls by,
Like an old friend gone away.
And I am just a mortal man,
And death will be my final lover,
And life will al
