lyrics

i never met a man who was more disloyal
he used to call me names in front of his friends
he went to law school while i worked at the grocery
he used to brag about all the money he'd make

but now:
johnny's coming home
he couldn't make it on his own
he couldn't pay his bills
he simply couldn't make his loans

goes to the bar down the street where the old men drink
shot and a beer, he relives his glory days
he's just another man who can't get out of jersey
he's just a stain i used to think was a friend

johnny's coming home
he couldn't make it on his own
he couldn't pay his bills
he simply couldn't make his loans
well he thought he'd pull it off
but he couldn't pull it off
and he had to make the call
and he had to take the bus
johnny's coming home
he couldn't make it on his own
not like me

i wonder if he likes living with his parents
i wonder if he likes mowing the lawn
i wonder if he ever thinks about me
i wonder if he knows he's already dead

i been here for years
doing this on my own
living all alone
and if i'm lonely
if i'm sad
at least i'm not living with mom and dad

johnny's coming home
