Nobody knows
The trouble you feel
Nobody cares
The feeling is real

Johnny
We're sorry
Won't you come on home?
We worry
Won't you come on?
What is wrong in this life?
That I must get drunk every night
Johnny

We're sorry
Won't you come on?
Use the phone
And call your mom
She's missing you badly
Missing her son

Who do you know?
Where will you stay?
Big city life
It's not what they say

Johnny
We're sorry
Won't you come on home?
We worry
Won't you come on?
What is wrong in this life?
That I must get drunk every night
Johnny
We're sorry
Won't you come on?

You'd better go
Everything's closed
Can't find a room
Money's all blown
Nowhere to sleep
Out in the cold
Nothing to eat
Nowhere to go

Johnny
We're sorry
Won't you come on home?
We worry
Won't you come on?
What is wrong in this life?
That I must get drunk every night
Johnny
We're sorry
Won't you come on home?

Johnny
Johnny
Won't you come on home?
Johnny
We worry
Won't you come on home?
Johnny
Won't you come on home?
