Where are you now? Look at you now, and look at you now And there's a candle burning in your room tonight Your sister waits there with her eyes closed tight Wishing you were coming home, Johnny boy A gold star mother with tears in here eyes One more brother left to sacrifice Won't you come marching home, Johnny boy And you were straight out of school, and you needed a job The man told you just where to go He said well take you around the world and the pays not bad That's all you really wanted to know Where are you now? Where are you now? Look at you now, look at you now And sandy's still waiting for the phone to ring She never stopped taking out your high school things She never stopped making plans, Johnny boy She walks to the mailbox everyday But nothing ever comes so she walks away Thinking about you out in the sand, Johnny boy johnny boy A gold star mama with tears in her eyes One more baby left to sacrifice When you gonna come back home, johnny boy? Yeah when your gonna come back home, Johnny boy? Yeah won't you come home marching home, Johnny boy?
