Come Home Johnny Birdie Songtext
von Bee Gees

I′m full of pride and my heart feels good
Got news from my family up in the woods
At last, I can go back where I belong
Sweated it all out for nine long years
Couldn't believe the voice in my ears
When the man saying, "No hiding, son"

So, I left the only folks I had known
I was 15 then and hardly grown
When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud
Couldn′t get back and I couldn't go far
Said to myself, stay right where you are
Done found yourself a ma and a pa
Everybody said the kid's no good

Come home, Johnny Bridie, come home
Johnny Bridie, come home
We′re all wrong about you
How did we ever doubt you?


He confessed to the killing
It′s his role we had you filling
We didn't really mean to make you sad
′Cause when you ran, you made us think that you were twice as bad

I left the only folks I had known
I was 15 then and hardly grown
When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud
Couldn't get back and I couldn′t go far
So I said to myself, stay right where you are
Done found yourself a ma and a pa
And everybody said kid's no good

Come home, Johnny Bridie
Come home, Johnny Bridie, come home
We′re all wrong about you
How dare we ever doubt you?

He confessed to the killing
It's his role we had you filling
We didn't really mean to make you sad
′Cause when you ran, you made us think that you were twice as bad

Come home, Johnny Bridie
Come home, Johnny Bridie, come home
We′re all wrong without you
How did we ever doubt you?
