The Day Johnny Comes Home

Story behind the song
My cousin is spending life behind bars. He wasn't even convicted of commiting the murder, but he was considered an excessory. It sucks. Cuz now, after spending i think 3 or 4 years behind bars, and after losing his parents, he might get out of jail. Thats not the "sucky" part, what sucks is that his parents died over this situation. Had they waited a couple of years, they would have been able to see their son at home...

THE DAY JOHNNY COMES HOME
Tell me why, you have left your family so lonely
Your mother is left in tears, at least that’s what they told me
And I could only imagine what pain she feels, its hard
Because her oldest boy is locked behind bars
There have been some changes in my life, I just thought you should know
I found the love of my life, I coach, and I’m also Unknown
You were the one person in my life that I wanted to be
But it might not matter know, cuz you’d love to be free
But I guess that’s the way the ball bounces, life isn’t fair
I apologize for not going to visit, guess I was scared
I don’t know where you’ll be moved to, or whats up the road
I hope you regret the path of life that you chose
Because it knocked your family around, right off our toes
When the came and arrested you in your own home
I can’t believe your didn’t sense the answer under your nose
It’s like a pool with out water, and into it you dove
Hook:
Man it’s hard to believe, feels like another tragety
But you couldn’t have seen it coming, neither did your family
But you’ll be happy to know, we will try to live happily
Even with all of this crazy madness that is happening
I’ve got so many memories stuck in my mind
I’d like to share them all, but I don’t have enough time
So I guess I’ll just have to narrow it down
To my favorites, lets see how profound
When you took me to the swap meet, and I bought boxing gloves
The ones in red right and blue, then you fucked me up
That was so funny, you said, I won’t hit you in the face
Then I ducked and got popped and its blood that I taste
Remember when you’re friend tim, caught one swift in the chin
I was like twelve and he was 16, and I was tougher than him
I felt so manly in front of my favorite cousin
I wasn’t that I was all manly, its just that lil’ timmy wasn’t
You and I never fought, and you didn’t bully me around
You were like my best friend, and I realize it now
If you were to come home, it would shine light into our lives
Cuz nothing has been the same since your parents died
We’re trying to move on, as best as we can
But we can’t cuz we all know you’re innocent
I can tell, come on people, its not hard to see
I wish I could get you outta jail, like monopoly
But I can’t, so I beg the lord my soul to take
And send Johnny home to us, as I pray
How many more people in this life really have to die
While they’re trying to fight what they know is a lie
My cousin’s a tough guy, and there’s no denying that
The system is trying to kill him, but we’re fighting back
When he does get out, shit he might just fall to pieces
Cuz his mother and father won’t be home to greet him
But the rest of us will still be here, and be so proud
That we’ll throw the biggest party and have the biggest crowd
And you can see how I’ve grown, and call me Unknown
We’re all waiting till the day that Johnny comes home
