I´m full of pride and my heart feels good Got news from my fam´ly 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 fifteen then, 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 Pa Ev´rybody said the kid´s no good
Come home Johnny Bridie come home Johnny Bridie come home We´re all wrong without 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
But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad
