	Story Behind the Song One of my oldest and dearest friends died of brain cancer a few years back. He was so full of life and joy. He lived for the Grateful Dead, and would have been devastated by Jerry's death, but he died before that tragic event. I find it hard to accept that someone my age could die so young, so I put I put my friend Tommy up there in heaven with Jerry, saving seats at a show for all his friends. Lyrics Tom Simons, I'll say his name again Tom Simons, Tom Simons The Grateful Dead have left the stage My Tommy loved them best He died the same year Jerry did And now his soul can rest He had his own way of walking and talking That boy could fill a room A light went on when I saw his face He left this world too soon (Chorus) He was a New York Boy/from Jamaica Queens And he discovered California when the Grateful Dead played at the Coliseum He went to every show/seven days in a row He really loved that band/he was their biggest fan I'll miss him so The Grateful Dead have left the stage Garcia said goodbye He's up there playing all of his riffs In that great hall in the sky And Tommy's sitting in the very first row He's bootlegging every note Saving seats for all of his friends So we can have another toke Chorus
