I just can't believe that it's over
We were chilling out on the sofa
Digging how the guitar goes
In a song that no one knows
Did you lick that line yourself
Or did the voodoo magic help?
Does everyone have a different take?
Do you seem real but I seem fake?
Does everyone get hypnotized by your fire?
So long Jimmy, so long
Though you only stayed a moment
We all know that you're the one singing
So long Jimmy, so long
Sure we're glad for the experience
We miss you now you've gone
We're just swimming in your soul
'Cause we all wish we wrote this song
Life goes on
I'm just so relieved that it's over
We were hanging out, going nowhere
Digging how the guitar goes
In a song that no one knows
Did you burn that bridge yourself
Or did the voodoo magic help?
Does everyone have a different take?
Are you just cool and I'm just baked?
Does everyone get mesmerized by your fire?
So long Jimmy, so long
Though you only stayed a moment
We all know that you're the one singing
So long Jimmy, so long
Sure we're glad for the experience
We miss you now you've gone
We're just swimming in your soul
'Cause we all wish we wrote this song
Life goes on
We were chilling out on the sofa
Digging how the guitar goes
In a song that no one knows
Did you lick that line yourself
Or did the voodoo magic help?
Does everyone have a different take?
Do you seem real but I seem fake?
Does everyone get hypnotized by your fire?
So long Jimmy, so long
Though you only stayed a moment
We all know that you're the one singing
So long Jimmy, so long
Sure we're glad for the experience
We miss you now you've gone
We're just swimming in your soul
'Cause we all wish we wrote this song
Life goes on
I'm just so relieved that it's over
We were hanging out, going nowhere
Digging how the guitar goes
In a song that no one knows
Did you burn that bridge yourself
Or did the voodoo magic help?
Does everyone have a different take?
Are you just cool and I'm just baked?
Does everyone get mesmerized by your fire?
So long Jimmy, so long
Though you only stayed a moment
We all know that you're the one singing
So long Jimmy, so long
Sure we're glad for the experience
We miss you now you've gone
We're just swimming in your soul
'Cause we all wish we wrote this song
Life goes on

there are at least two Jimmys in the song. Many references to Hendrix, and the Riders on the Storm riff at the end is a direct reference to Jim Morrison. Also, the organ solo sounds like the exact Hammond organ the Doors used, and the style of the organ solo is very Door-like. If anyone is interested,..listen to the instrumental ending of So Long Jimmy, and then listen to the instrumental beginning of Riders on the Storm: identical. What a cool song! Hendrix and Morrison. I'm sure Hendrix would be "glad for the experience."
