Goodbye Johnny M

male vocals, fiddle +5, acoustic guitar +2, piano+12, harmonica +1, medium tempo +3

[Chorus]
Growing up is hard to do.
Some take longer than others.
Maturity comes down only to you.
The secret to life is loving one another.
it's hard waving that inner child goodbye and pressing forward into adulthood.
Now it's time to do or it's time to die,  there's no room for try.
Johnny, you'll leave behind that inner child from the neighborhood.

[Verse 2]
Maybe you'll meet that one special girl.
The one that makes you be a better man.
That girl will change your world
in more ways than you can possibly understand.

[Verse 3]
Johnny, take what I'm saying to heart.
It'll help you in your future decisions in life.
It'll help keep you from falling apart
when life hits you with all it's might.

[Verse 4]
I know it's going to be hard Johnny.
You'll need to just trust me when the time comes.
The future is a hard thing to comprehend or see. 
life wil hit you and you won't know where it's coming from.

[Outro]
Well, I hope you've understood what I've said.
It's time now for me to move along.
Johnny, you're going to be alright kid.
I'm not going to ever see you again.
[Deep Male Voice talking this last line with powerful meaning]
Goodbye Johnny, I've gotta go now,
and be John.

[Instrumental: piano soft]
