Send My Love To John

Crossed the border in the summer of '73
Left my mother to go after the American dream
Oooh threw away my name
Oooh it's easier when it sounds the same

All I ever wanted was for you to have a better chance
Go to college find a good girl that you'd take to a dance
Oooh pictured you with her
Oooh but that was never who you were

And I'm sorry for the things I've done
I misguided love to my only son
Trying to protect you
But I guess I was wrong
So send my love
Send my love to John

Saw the way the kids treated you every day at school
Should've blamed them but instead I hid

behind the bible's rule
Oooh prayed to Got above
Oooh but all you needed was my love

And I'm sorry for the things I've done
I misguided love to my only son
We both had to leave our mothers
To get the things we want
So send my love
Send my love to John

And I see that he takes care of you
From the food he makes, he's there for you
In all the ways I never was
Oooh

And I'm sorry for the things I've done
I misguided love to my only son
But I love to see you happy
And right where you belong
So send my love
Send my love
Send my love to John
