I'm full of pride, 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 sang,
no hiding son
So I left the only folks I'd known I was fifteen then and hardly grow
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 mar and par Everybody said,
it's no good
Come
on Johnny Bridie, come on Johnny Bridie, come on
We're all wrong about you
How did we ever doubt you?
He confessed to the killing It's his role,
we had it 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'd known
I was fifteen then and hardly grow
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 mar and par
Everybody said,
it's no good
Come on Johnny Bridie,
come on Johnny Bridie, come on
We're all wrong about you
How did we ever doubt you?
He confessed to the killing It's his role,
we had it 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 on Johnny Bridie,
come on Johnny Bridie,
come on
