Hey, JoJo.
F*
Yeah, I know your name.
F* F7
I thought I saw you
F*
jump the Utah train,
F* F* F* F7
but I could not say.
I could not say.
F* F7
Heard you tried to
F*
keep your hat on a shelf.
F* F7
Marry the woman,

went off and loved someone else.
F* F* F*
Could be as well.
I cannot tell.

Hey, JoJo,
F*
don't you forget your name.
F* F7
Might try to keep you
F*
from the man you have been.
F* F* F*
So, don't go that way.
Don't go that way.
Oh, 'cause the story I heard
is the people are bored
and the measures you take
to wrestle with your Lord.
All the money you take…
All the memories you spill...
Will He measure your tongue?
Will He measure your will?
Oh, now…
F* F7
One of these mornings
F*
we'll be the loudest you’ll hear.
F* F*
You'll write your story on firecracker paper,
F* F* F* F7
And disappear...
Near disappear...
F* - - F7
And disappear...
Near disappear...
Oh, 'cause the story I heard
is the people are bored
and the measures you take
to wrestle with your Lord.
All the measures you fake...
Whether you're dead or just still...
Will He measure your tongue?
Will He measure your will?
Oh, now…
One of these mornings,
We'll be...
We'll be...
One of these mornings,
We'll be...
We'll be home.
