Jimi

These old town roads don't seem the same
When you're not around, but we still speak your name
A name like that sticks in your mind like a character
From an old school nursery rhyme and though it's sad to see
You will never be a distant memory
'Cause you were always a friend to me

When we first met, I was just 15
You gave me your hat, said it was Pete Doherty's
Well, I dunno if that's true
But knowing you, it could well have been
All the things you've done and seen
I don't need to pretend
'Cause you and I are friends until the end
Well, I mean, the end for me

Remember the time that you jumped in a skip
Just to make us laugh and it did
Remember the times when we were kids
In clothes that didn't fit
And in my mind, you're on that ironing board singing Surfin' USA
Yeah, in my mind, you're still here today

La-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la, la
La-la-la, la, la
La-la-la, la, la

And if you heard this song, well, you'd probably laugh
Saying, "Dry your eyes, stop acting so damn daft"
And if I saw your face but every day I do
And every time my phone lights up, I wish that it was you
I think you would agree that you will never be a distant memory

My friend
My mate
Jimi
