Click hereThe Night Before Christmas
Baby was crying
That woke up Johnny
He tried to keep her calm
Momma and daddy
Were fussing and fighting
Johnny kept baby from harm
Daddy said “Jesus
I ain’t got no money
I’ve had it, I’m goin’ away”
Momma said “Johnny
We’ve got to do somethin’
Come kneel with me, Johnny, and pray”
The junk man came over
And Momma found money
To buy herself some crack
The baby was sleeping
And Johnny was hungry
He got up and slipped out the back
He used his dad’s hand gun
“”Just give me the money
I know what I’m doin’ is wrong
Johnny got money
He bought food and diapers
He felt like a man who was strong
Momma said “Johnny
You’re such a provider
I just know that we’ll get along”
Johnny was sleepy
Tomorrow was Monday
Time to go back to school
Mom didn’t wake him
He missed his first class
Johnny felt like a fool
The next class was English
But he hadn’t studies
He too the test and failed
Teacher said “Johnny
With no education
You’ll spend your life in jail”
“In five years there’ll’ be college
You’re smart. You can make it.”
“Sure and the check’s in the mail”
Johnny was angry
Johnny was hungry
Johnny had no cash
He went to the food store
He grabbed a few items
And got out of there real fast
Eating his dinner
He headed for Main Street
He washed a few window: got rich
He headed for home
Ran into the junk man
The junk man gave him a pitch
Junk said to Johnny
I know you’re a smart one
Work for me for a while”
Johnny said “no man
I don’t sell trash”
And headed home with a smile
When Johnny got home
The door was wide open
The social worker was there
Momma was gone
The baby was crying
The neighbors were starting to stare
John took the baby
He held her for comfort
Johnny was lost in despair
The worker said “Johnny
Go get some possessions
You’re now in the care of the state”
She looked at him sadly
Took hold of the baby
And Johnny started to hate
They got to the station
They farmed out the baby
But Johnny had to wait
Johnny was thirteen
He went to a group home
They told him to mind what he said
They gave him some dinner
Said “Court’s in the morning”
They gave him a room with a bed
His roommate was bigger
He took Johnny’s sneakers
And said he was in for a fight
Johnny said nothing
He sat in the corner
And stayed awake the whole night
He went to the Court house
He talked to a lawyer
Who said he’d make things all right
They went to the Court room
The Judge said “be patient
You have a room and a bed
If you’re good in the meantime
You can visit your sister
We’ll find you a mother instead”
He went back to the group home
The whole place was empty
He cried ‘til his eyes were red
“T was the night before Christmas
Johnny was lonely
Johnny shot off his head
