Jimmy

I wrote a song for Jimmy when the news had finally come

I never got to thank him, for all the songs he'd sung

To thank him for the memories, to tell a boy to chase his dreams

That you can face life's tragedies with some humor up your sleeve

So raise a glass to the pirate, navigating the stars

Drink one for the islands, and double for the bars

Sing a song for your good friends, and another for family

This one goes out to Jimmy, wherever he might be

I bet his grandfather'd be happy, for all the things he did

The hat that graced the captain, worn proudly by the kid
