Lyrics

FOR JOHNNY


1ST: JOHNNY CAME HOME LATE TODAY, BUT THE ONLY WORDS PAPA HAD TO SAY. WAS WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, AND WHY DID YOU SIN, TELL ME NOW BOY WHEN DID IT ALL BEGIN. WELL DADDY I?VE TRIED TO SPEAK TO YOU, YOU DON?T HEAR ME NOW, AND YOU DON?T HAVE A CLUE. I?M NOT AN ANGEL, NOR THE BOY OF YOUR DREAMS; IF I WERE AN ANGEL WOULD IT JUSTIFY YOUR MEANS.


CHORUS: BUT JOHNNY HE DON?T KNOW x2 HE DON?T KNOW


2ND: MAMA TELLS PAPA CHANGE HIM IF YOU CAN; PAPA TELLS MAMA THE BOY IS NOW A MAN. AND WE DON?T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE?S GOING THROUGH, MAMA SAY?S TO PAPA THE BOY IS JUST LIKE YOU. WELL TELL ME NOW MAMA IS IT REALLY TRUE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT PAPA IT?S ME YOU SEE TOO. AND WHAT MUST WE DO TO CHANGE THE WAY WE FEEL, GOD SAID THE FAMILY IS THE ONLY THING THAT?S REAL.


CHORUS:


11/3/00
