Song lyrics
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.

Yeh I'm pretty sure he's talking about himself in this one. If you interperate that in the lyrics you could see that he's talking kind of to himself before becoming famous and well known, kind of how he changed or how he is so different from what he used to be. Like when he was listening to a song that know one knew, which ment a song he wrote before it became well known. Anyone Agree?

im pretty sure this song was about jimi hendrix...it has refrences to many of his songs ..voodo child, fire, ..and others. also the fact that jimi had that great sound on the guitar and that he was only here for a moment. im not saying that its jimi hendrix for sure..just a presumtion i made..

this is actually about Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix and about him saying goodbye to the person who helped him right it ... everyone was right in some way ...

James: Um yeah it’s really a tribute to him [Jim Morrison] and Jimmy Hendrix. I wrote it with my friend Jimmy Hogarth and I get called Jimmy occasionally. It was the last song I wrote before heading off to LA so it was like saying goodbye to Jimmy my song-writing partner, you can obviously hear the nod at the end to Riders on the Storm by the Doors. I was enjoying making all those associations.

FF: Your song So Long Jimmy reminds me of a Doors track, is this an ode to Jim Morrison?
