Intro: Verse My mother told me be a good boy, And don't do nothing wrong, And she'd wrapped up the sandwich, For me to take along Cause I was gonna see Jimi, Nothing's gonna be the same. She drove us crosstown in her old chevy, She parked and waited for us outside, She said be careful honey of these crazy people inside, Cause I was gonna see Jimi, And nothing's gonna be the same. Intro Verse Now there was Police at the front door, And there were Police on the stage, But to a twelve year old boy, It was all cool and straight, Cause I was gonna see Jimi, And nothing's gonna be the same. The lights were dimming, people were shouting, And I forgot about my Mom in the car, When he walked out on stage And plugged in his guitar, Cause I was gonna see Jimi, And nothing's gonna be the same I was gonna see Jimi, And nothing's gonna be the same.
