Lonely Jim

This song is a tribute to my first guitar teacher who passed away. It is about how he showed me the ropes and introduced me to music but never got to say goodbye to him before he passed.

He sat outside my bedroom window
Smoking his cigarette all alone
He’d come inside open up his mind
And leave his smokey scent behind

Lonely Jim, he lived a life of music
Lonely Jim, he showed me how to use it
Lonely Jim, I never said goodbye
Lonely Jim, now you’re free to fly….. free to fly

When I hear that horse with no name
Your stories arise, from back in the day
He put in time, to expand my mind
A mysterious guitar guy
Lonely Jim, lived a life of music
Lonely Jim, he showed me how to use it
Lonely Jim, I never said goodbye
Lonely Jim, one day, we’ll jam in the skies
