This song tells the story about Jimmy....

About his best friend and his biggest enemy...

Jimmy was a friend of mine

I say 'was' cause he is on the line

The colour of gold to him is white

He's out to rob and steal tonight

Once full of life and now so sad

Twenty-two years and nearly dead

One line one shot could do no harm

Weekend parties no cause for alarm

Doing allright living like that

A lot of fun was what he had

But bit by bit he needed more

he got sick and he had to score

One months wages gone in three days

He had to have money he'd look for ways

Stole from his mother stole from his dad

Lost the best friend he ever had

The end of all troubles is what he found

No more for Jimmy he's under the ground

Finally free now four years have past

He took his live with an O.D. at last
