Darryl LaRocque songs
JOHN
I WAS DOWN AND OUT AND IN DIRE STRAIGHTS
LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HIDE
WHEN I SAW HIM STANDING BY THE TRACKS
HE SAID YOU EVER HITCH A RIDE FOR FREE
I SAID NO HE SAID FOLLOW ME
YOU GOT TO HAVE FAITH AND RUN FAST
TRY AND LET GO OF THE PAST
JUST GRAB MY HAND AND JUMP IN
CUZ THIS IS WHERE YOUR LIFE BEGINS
HE SAID I SEE YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT WITH THE BLUES
BUT I'VE GOT SOME REALLY GOOD NEWS
I SAID YOU AIN'T EVEN GOT SHOES
HE SAID BUT SOMEONE HAS PAID MY DUES
AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHAT TO DO
FIND YOURSELF A GIRL SETTLE DOWN
GET MARRIED AND HAVE A BUNCH OF KIDS
TAKE 'EM TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY
AND TEACH 'EM ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
HE SAID YOU GOT TO JUMP AT THE NEXT BEND
I SAID HELL NO I'M GOING TO THE END
HE SAID BOY YOU ARE AT THE VERY END
THEN HE GAVE ME A SHOVE I HIT THE GROUND
HE SAID BY THE WAY MY NAME'S JOHN
THAT'S WHEN I SAW HER SWIMMING IN THE POND
SHE SAID COME ON AND JUMP RIGHT IN
I BET YOU BEEN TALKING TO JOHN
I WAS LOST BUT NEVER FOUND
THAT'S WHEN HE SAVED ME IN THIS HERE POND
HE SAID FIND YOURSELF A BOY AND SETTLE DOWN
GET MARRIED AND HAVE A BUNCH OF KIDS
TAKE 'EM TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY
AND TEACH 'EM ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
WELL THIRTY SOME YEARS LATER I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT GUY NAMED JOHN
CUZ I WAS SAVED BY THAT GIRL IN THE POND
I FOUND THAT GIRL AND SETTLED DOWN
GOT MARRIED AND HAD A BUNCH OF KIDS
WE TAKE 'EM TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY
AND WE TEACH 'EM ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
WELL THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS PLAIN AS PLAIN CAN BE
FIND YOURSELF A GIRL AND SETTLE DOWN
GET MARRIED AND HAVE A BUNCH OF KIDS
TAKE 'EM TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY
AND TEACH 'EM ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
THEN TEACH 'EM ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
I WAS DOWN AND OUT AND IN DIRE STRAIGHTS
LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HIDE
WHEN I SAW HIM STANDING BY THE TRACKS
HE SAID YOU EVER HITCH A RIDE FOR FREE
I SAID NO HE SAID FOLLOW ME
YOU GOT TO HAVE FAITH AND RUN FAST
TRY AND LET GO OF THE PAST
JUST GRAB MY HAND AND JUMP IN
CUZ THIS IS WHERE YOUR LIFE BEGINS
HE SAID I SEE YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT WITH THE BLUES
BUT I'VE GOT SOME REALLY GOOD NEWS
I SAID YOU AIN'T EVEN GOT SHOES
HE SAID BUT SOMEONE HAS PAID MY DUES
AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHAT TO DO
FIND YOURSELF A GIRL SETTLE DOWN
GET MARRIED AND HAVE A BUNCH OF KIDS
TAKE 'EM TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY
AND TEACH 'EM ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
HE SAID YOU GOT TO JUMP AT THE NEXT BEND
I SAID HELL NO I'M GOING TO THE END
