Keith Don't Go (Ode to the Glimmer Twin) Lyrics

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

Clearly a love letter to Keith Richards. He mentions the loss of Jimi (Hendrix) and it seems he was worried that we'd lose Keith too. With the perspective of time, it seems he didn't need to worry as Keith Richards is still climbing coconut treas and playing rock. Nils Lofgren seems like a musician's musician who isn't jealous of other musicians and celebrates them.
