me and my best friend
travelled down life's highway
we talked of how
how things shold be
of peace and love
for you and me
of a life without hate
of a life filled with love
on that first day
he played my guitar
somehow I knew
he'd travel far
reach out and find
his distant star
many things he would try
for he knew soon he'd die
ohohoh why
did it happen
oh the sadness
he is gone
but he left us something
that time can't erase
now he's loved by us all
yes he's loved by us all
that is my story
it has no end
now Jimi's gone
he's not alone
his memory
still lingers on
like the thoughts that remain
though they still bring us pain
five years, this he said
he's not gone he's just dead
