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
