I used to have it but it's such a horrid song, and Jimmy's version is so bad, I deleted it from my iPod.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

as Larry said, it was a really marginal song. I believe all copies have been destroyed, and Jimmy now only refers to that part of his life as "my mistake"

I see someone's a glutton for punishment. Don't blame me, you're the one who asked for it. Here you go.

Yes it is unfortunate that this song was ever covered by Jimmy. This is one of those songs where it should be left to be sung by the artist.

Just heard it for the first time ever (thanks for the link, Funkhouse).

It ain't great, no — we will never see it on SYKBH2, for example — but it ain't that bad. With the long instrumental segments, it sounds to me like something he arranged to let the Reefers have a little more well-deserved time in the spotlights.
