Corey Hart - Jimmy Rae lyrics

The son of pride and family respect

And Jimmy Rae swore he'd one day see

The other side of his own neglect

So Jimmy Rae left home at seventeen

And vowed he would never look back

He passed his old man on the floor

Empty bottle, his face in the crack

And it's so sad to see that no one hears the call

And it's so hard to be alone trapped against the wall

Where nobody gives a damn

The sacrificial lamb

The message is clear

It's a tragedy to see you slip away

Jimmy Rae

Jimmy Rae dreamed he'd someday be

A lucky child of significance

And shall we say it was destiny

He'd be a victim of indifference

So Jimmy Rae fell down to his knees

And confessed to a higher God

'O naked truth you're a travesty

Your creation's a fraud

'O and it's so sad to see that no one hears the call

And it's so hard to be alone trapped against the wall

Where nobody gives a damn

The sacrificial lamb

The message is clear

It's a tragedy to see you slip away

Jimmy Rae

Oh no no

And it's so sad to see that no one hears the call

And it's so hard to be alone trapped against the wall

Whoa where nobody gives a damn

The sacrificial lamb

The message is clear

It's a tragedy to see you slip away

Jimmy Rae

Jimmy Rae no no no

Oh no

It's so sad to see you slip away

It's so sad to see you slip away

Jimmy Rae

Jimmy Rae

Jimmy Rae

Do you hear me Jimmy Rae?

Do you hear me Jimmy Rae
