John's Vacation Lyrics

I have a friend who's name is John

He once was here but now he's gone

And he seems to be as happy as can be

I talk to him through his cellphone

And video games when we're both stoned

But I seem to be as lonely as can be

I miss him here is that selfish

To want him to come back and wish

That maybe one day he'll come visit me

But then again I could be wrong

It could be my fault all along

For not moving out into a new city

And I miss my friend John

And all the things we've done

And I hope to see him on

A day coming up

He took a trip to western shores

The south will be his home no more

He's got himself a spot in south Cali

He says out loud that he won't return

Is he teaching something I should learn

Or should I stay with the big magnolia tree

Remember all those river days

Where we'd go swimming in a haze

And laugh till the water got too damn dark to see

And I'm not trying to guilt trip

Just reminiscence on the things we did

And I hope you hold on to those memories

And I miss my friend John

And all the things we've done

I hope to see him on

A day coming up

And I know you're keeping track

But I hope you're having fun

And maybe you'll come back

From your vacation
