David Roth - John And Josie
John and Josie's only child
young and handsome, fast and wild
join in the army at 18
left the army at 18
drift then from job to job
town to town and love to love
7 years forever, till young Jonnie came marching home
but Jonnie wasn't looking well
went into the hospital
days turned into several weeks
Jonnie kept on losing weight
Josie said that John sit down
John cried oh god,not my son
Jonnie left at 25
hole as big as Jupiter
there's nothing stronger than a love
John and Josie head for Jonnie
throughing his last birthday party
no one from the family came
no one from the family came
turns John and Josie's grift to shame
shame to anger,anger pain
nothing they needed more now
2 years's gone,
the telephone is ringing in the dim the damn
beneath the world and cluser face
but John had punched the day he learned
that Jonnie he wouldn't live much longer
now a voice said to his father
Jonnie have a baby here
no one seems to want him
baby doesn't have his parents
2 months old and with a pair of eyeless
Josie grabbed the phone from John
two of them said yes yes yes
so John and Josie over 60
taking in a brand-new baby
named Paul Antonio
Jonnie would've loved him
nothing stronger than a love
John and Josie head for Jonnie
the same love at they've fall apart
they starting up to win again
and on the fear that same could happen
losing paul before his time comes
John and Josie looked right past it
they're basketing in love's mighty presents
John and Josie don't have time
they're basket in love's mighty presents
