  • This is a right-away letter, I've got to mail it today
    Straight to my main inspirer, says urgent from the USA
    Its got this heart inside it, the postage is my soul
    Contains a message from millions, says Keith don't go

    A thousand guitars wailin', but it ain't quite the same
    You've got a knack for sailin',
    and it's stamped with your own brand name
    We's all sailors, as captain you must know
    You bring a message to millions, says Keith don't go

    I said Keith don't go,
    Don't take my fun
    Keith don't go, Keith don't go
    We miss our father Jimi, it's hard to breathe with that loss
    But I still got you brother, don't nail yourself to a cross
    I watch you lead the pack, you put the drive into my soul
    You bring a message to millions, says Keith don't go Writer/s: NILS LOFGREN
