Send My Love To John
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Cross the border in the summer of '73
Left my mother to go after the American Dream
Oh, threw away my name
Oh, it's easier when it sounds the same
All I ever wanted was for you to have a better chance
Go to college, find a good girl that you take to a dance
Oh, pictured you with her
Oh, but that was never who you were
And I'm sorry for the things I've done
A misguided love to my only son
Trying to protect you, but I guess I was wrong
So send my love, send my love to John
Saw the way the kids treated you every day at school
I should've blamed them, but instead I hid behind the Bible's rules
Oh, prayed to God above
Oh, but all you needed was my love
And I'm sorry for the things I've done
A misguided love to my only son
We had both had to leave our mothers to get the things we want
So send my love, send my love to John, oh, John
And I see that he takes care of you from the food he makes
He's there for you in all the ways I never was, ooh
And I'm sorry for the things I've done
A misguided love to my only son
But I love to see you happy and right where you belong
So send my love, oh, send my love, send my love to John
