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
