A storm was raging in Jimmy's heart He couldn't face the day Just a boy tryin' to be a man Till Jimmy's best friend said, "come out and play" With a shotgun, he put a record on Said "bye-bye" to his favorite song Now he's gone! He's gone, gone, gone! Now he's gone! He's gone, gone, gone! Yeah, yeah, yeah! It's just another rock 'n' roll suicide Don't do it, Jimmy, don't do it! Another teenage Jekyll shows his Hyde, ah, yeah It's just another rock 'n' roll suicide Jimmy done it, Jimmy gone an' done it! Little Jimmy Vance was his mother's pride and joy! Down in the graveyard on a tombstone Lightnin' struck Jimmy's friend Jimmy lost his face, now he cries in disgrace You can't blame the priest for the bitter end With a shotgun, he put a record on Said "bye-bye" to his favorite song Now he's gone! He's gone, gone, gone!
