Jon Boy Lyrics by Yella Belly

2023

Only took ten years or so
To say goodbye the only way I know
Yet I’m still stuck, in shell shock, I write then I choke
And I wonder where you are and if you’re alone
Ah so gimme your gun, your dime bag of dope
Naw you ain’t the type, you’re no cutthroat
Oh we was just kids, what the hell do we know
Runnin’ all wild with nowhere to go
And I wished I’d ah been there, I’d bring yah home
Cause this cold town Chicago gon’ swallowed yah whole
Ah so gimme your gun, your dime bag of dope
Naw this ain’t no fun, the bottle done broke
It hurts my heart, hurts worse when they say
That now he can rest, he’s free from the pain
Well when yah rang ten years ago
I didn’t pick up, it still haunts my bones
For Hours and Ours amused
But 22’s too soon to…
Ah man oh man I miss that band
Ah so gimme your gun, your dime bag of dope
Naw this ain’t no fun, the bottle done broke
It hurts my heart, hurts worse when they say
That now he can rest, he’s free from the pain
But we all know Jon, and what he would say
“Just don’t make a fuss for me”
Only took till I got old
