Geoff Moore And The Distance Hey Jimmie Lyrics

Hey Jimmie Lyrics

Geoff Moore/Dale Oliver

                      Luke 9:24-25 & 16:13



Well, little Jimmie Thomas was the boy of every mother's dreams

His yearbook read, "I want it all, I want to do everything"

We now, people love it when winners lead

So they voted Jimmie "the most likely to succeed"



Chorus

Hey Jimmie, hey Jimmie, oh, you make us proud

And Jimmie, say Jimmie, you're the man of the hour

With Jimmie, with Jimmie, we rise and we fall

Little Jimmie Thomas you're the best in us all



Well, Jimmie grew to be a man of wealth, fortune and fame

You know the kind of man that people love to say they know and to

call by

his first name

He says there's only one on which you can rely

And I see him in the mirror every morning and every night



Chorus



Out on a lonely country road on a late November night

Jimmie held 44 reasons to give up on his life

There was an old abandoned church stood just across the road

With a little faded sign that wave to and fro, to and fro



What does it profit a man to gain this world

Profit a man to gain this whole world

Profit a man to gain this world, but to lose his very soul



Hey Jimmie, hey Jimmie, oh, you make us proud

But Jimmie, say Jimmie, what's happened to you now

With Jimmie, with Jimmie, we rise and we fall

In little Jimmie Thomas, I see the worst in us all
