I was fifteen then , hardly grown
When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud
Couldn't get back and I couldn't go far
Said to myself stay right where you are
Done found yourself a Ma and Pa
Ev'rybody said the kid's no good
Come Home Johnny Bride come home
Johnny Bride come home
We're all wrong without you
How did we ever doubt you
He confessed to the killing
It's his role we had you filling
We didn't really mean to make you sad
But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad
(repeat last verse and fade out about line 6)
I left the only folks I had known I was fifteen then , hardly grown When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud Couldn't get back and I couldn't go far Said to myself stay right where you are Done found yourself a Ma and Pa Ev'rybody said the kid's no good Come Home Johnny Bride come home Johnny Bride come home We're all wrong without you How did we ever doubt you He confessed to the killing It's his role we had you filling We didn't really mean to make you sad But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad (repeat last verse and fade out about line 6) Explain Request ×
