Johnny came home off the road today lookinâ sick and lean
Said somethinâ about seeinâ half of the world and everything in between
Well his wife and kids they lost their heads, thought theyâd never see him again
The last they knew he was a T.V. star, theyâd seen him in T.V. land
Chorus
So Darlinâ light up those old home fires
Get the family around the telephone wire
When I shipped out thought youâd never find me another way back in
I donât wanna go there again
Well the folks came over, kids played red rover, Maggie opened up the finest wine
A toast was made, table cleared away, everybody had a really good time
And the weeks flew by like a bird that flies until a knock came upon the door
âGood day Johnny, its been some time. Weâve found you another warâ
Chorus
Well mister I hope, I hope you are kiddinâ
I like livinâ and I like this breathinâ
When I shipped out thought youâd never find me another way back in
I donât wanna go there again
Well later that night when the time was right they talked about getting out
Maybe on up to Canada or maybe down further south
Well across that line in short due time they were registered as refugees
âSo sorry Johnny, we gotta turn you back, Uncle Sam well heâs the man weâve gotta pleaseâ
Chorus
Well I guess that my dreams just expired
Get the family around the telephone wire
When I shipped out thought youâd never find me another way back in
I donât wanna go there again
Well you can burn me in those old home fires
Scatter my ashes around the telephone wire
Well I guess Iâm shipping out when that boat comes in
Iâm heading back there again
