Shadows

In the words of his mama, "He was my only son."
 In the words of his sister, "He was on the run."
 In the words of his girl, "How could it end this way?"
 In the words of his daddy, "Well he never had much to say."
 Goodbye Kathy and goodbye Mom, there's voices in my head
 Angel dust and tortured dreams say I'd be better dead
 You, you chased the shadows because your hopes
 And dreams have been lost to the night
 Hey, Billy, did you hear the news?
 Johnny's gone for good
 They say his mama's all broke up
 They found him in the woods
 Kathy just couldn't understand
 Sheriff, he just looked tired
 Some will play and some will pay
 And Johnny played with fire
 Goodbye Kathy and goodbye Mom, there's voices in my head
 Angel dust and tortured dreams say I'd be better dead
 You, you chased the shadows because your hopes
 And dreams have been lost to the night
 You, you chased the shadows because your hopes
 And dreams have been lost to the night
 Johnny's dead and buried now out on the edge of town
 Drove by his grave the other day, that's when the fear came down
 I hate the night that took his life, but now it's haunting me
 I may be young, may be confused but I gotta be free
 God, are You there, can You hear me now?
 Show me how to hope
 Lost in the dark on a dead end road, please save me from myself
 Lord, You, You took the shadows
 - all my fears and doubt and brought me out of the night
 Lord, You, You take the shadows
 - give me hope and love and turn my darkness to light
 Lord, You, You took the shadows
 - all my fears and doubt and brought me out of the night
 Lord, You, You take the shadows
 - give me hope and love and turn my darkness to light
