I was only eighteen in a ducktail and jeans when he had to go
G7 F G7
We spent so many nights me and Jim and the lights from my radio
F G7 F C
I never knew him or once shook his hand
F G7
But sometimes I think he was my closest friend
F G7 C
I can stand at my window some nights
F G7 C
With a soft southern breeze gently blowing
F G7 C Am
I know deep inside he’s still shining somewhere
F G7 C
Out where the bright lights are glowing
G7 F C
When love let me down Jim was around to share those four walls
G7 F G7
But then he went away one fateful day and saddened us all
F G7 F C
The headline that morning I remember it yet
F G7
He’ll never be that easy to forget
F G7 C
I can stand at my window some nights
F G7 C
With a soft southern breeze gently blowing
F G7 C Am
I know deep inside he’s still shining somewhere
F G7 C
Out where the bright lights are glowing
F G7 C
Out where the bright lights are glowing
