Jimmy Dean lyrics

By Icehouse

Jimmy Dean
----------
Iva Davies / Robert Kretschmer
----------

there`s a mist over broadway
breathing cool sheets of rain
lights his last cigarette and
turns his back to the wind

she says baby I don`t know
just how to explain
and I can`t see the sense
and I can`t play this game
but he`s not even listening
he stares at the ground
and she won`t ever know
what was on his mind

well now he`s a rebel without a cause
hey c`mon let`s make a deal
see your name in lights just like Jimmy Dean
live and die behind the wheel

opened out on the highway
leaving her far behind
there`s a star down on sunset
he says yeah this one`s mine

she says baby I don`t know
just how to explain
and I can`t see the sense
and I can`t play this game
but he`s not even listening
he stares at the ground
and she won`t ever know
what was on his mind

well now he`s a rebel without a cause
hey c`mon let`s make a deal
see your name in lights just like Jimmy Dean
live and die behind the wheel
well now Mr D whispered in his ear
hey c`mon let`s make a deal
engines running hot singing Jimmy Dean
any time there`s time to kill

he drove like a demon
and he burned up the screen
but he never looked back no
she just wasted my time

well now he`s a rebel without a cause
hey c`mon let`s make a deal
see your name in lights just like Jimmy Dean
live and die behind the wheel
gonna let those horses loose again
hey c`mon let`s make a deal
see them running wild just like Jimmy Dean
overdrive in chrome and steel
hey c`mon
hey c`mon let`s make a deal
well now he`s a rebel without a cause
live and die behind the wheel
