Lyrics - Jimmy Rae by Hart Corey

Jimmy
Rae was born and raised to be
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?
