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
Seven 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
A hole as big as Jupiter
Nothing stronger than a love
John and Josie head for Jonnie
Threw his last birthday party
No one from the family came
No one from the family came
Turns John and Josie's grief to shame
Shame to anger, anger pain
Nothing they needed more of
Two years's gone,
The telephone is ringing in the dim-lit den
Beneath the wooden crucifix
That John had punched the day he learned
That Jonnie wouldn't live much longer
Now a voice said to his father
"John, we have a baby here “
No one seems to want him
The baby doesn't have his parents
Two months old and with their virus."
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 in Paul Antonio
Jonnie would've loved him
Nothing stronger than a love
That John and Josie had for Jonnie
The same love at they've fall apart
They starting up to wheel again
And of the fear that same could happen
Losing Paul before his time comes
John and Josie looked right past it
They're basking in love's mighty presents
John and Josie don't have time
They're basking in love's mighty presents
