     Missing John 
    Words and Music by Terry McManus c 1986, 1997,1998,2000 
Verse 
Driving home from work 
Stranded in my car 
Me and all these other folks 
Surprised how old we are 
Up and down the dial 
Strangers singing songs 
Had enough reach to turn it off 
Then your song comes on....and I think 

Chorus 
So good to hear you now 
Seems so long 
Growing older every day 
Missing John 
Verse 2 
The kid's are still alright 
They're doin what kid's do 
Rock n Roll never will grow old 
To kids it's always new 
But every now and then 
I need to look around 
I need a song that will help me think 
But they're not easily found.......and I wish 
Chorus 
So good to hear you now 
Singing that song 
Me and half the world 
Missing John 
Bridge 
The world is just the same 
It's still a crazy place 
Short on dreamers long on fools 
I don't see how we'll ever win the human race 
So what'll we do 
Verse 3 
Everything's been said 
But still there's more to say 
Later in the evening 
There goes another day 
But even more than that 
There goes another year 
Seems so long and we miss you John 
Wishing you were here.....and we dream 
Chorus 
So good to hear you now 
Coming on strong 
Life is what it is 
Missing John

MIssing John
