John and Josie - David Roth
John and Josie's only child
Young and handsome fast and wild
Joined the army at eighteen
Left the army at eighteen
Drifted then from job to job
Town to town and love to love
Seven years forever
Til young Johnny came marching home
But Johnny wasn't looking well
Went into the hospital
Days turned into several weeks
Johnny kept on losing weight
Josie said to John "Sit down"
John cried "Oh God not my son"
Johnny left at twenty five
A hole as big as Jupiter
Nothing stronger than the love John
And Josie had for Johnny
Threw him his last birthday party
No one from the family came
No one from the family came
Turned John and Josie's grief to shame
Shame to anger anger pain
Nothing they needed more of
Two years gone the telephone
Is ringing in the dim-lit den
Beneath the wooden crucifix
That John had punched the day he learned
That Johnny wouldn't live much longer
Now a voice said to his father
"John we have a baby here
And 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
The two of them said "Yes yes yes"
So John and Josie over sixty
Taking in a brand new baby
Named him Paul Antonio
Johnny would have loved him
Nothing stronger than the love
That John and Josie had for Johnny
The same love that they have for Paul
They're starting up the wheel again
And of the fear the same could happen
Losing Paul before his time comes
John and Josie look right past it
They're basking in love's mighty presence
John and Josie don't have time
They're basking in love's mighty presence
