Never Saw It Coming Johnny lived alone, some said he drank himself to death But the drinking only started after years of cold neglect They say the silence followed him like a killer down the trail ’til the day that they all screamed as he was looking down a barrel CHORUS You never saw it coming ’til it’s all over the news And you’re writing young girl’s elegies and you’re singing young men’s blues You never saw it coming ’til it’s pointed in your eyes No, you never know what you will do or know the reason why The kids all went to school just like any other day but only Frank and Johnny knew some wouldn’t walk away After sixteen years of getting kicked and laughed at at the gym I guess sooner or later it just got the best of them CHORUS You never saw it coming ’til it’s wrapped around the wrist Of a pretty little girl who never got to her first kiss You never saw it coming ’til it’s pointed in your eyes You never know what you will do ’til you’re about to die It’s times like this that remind you that the world ain’t what you thought When blood and dust are mixing on conspired parking lots It all could have been different, and when all is said and done You could have been the one who took the bullet, could have been the one that held the gun CHORUS You never saw it coming ’til its all over the news and you’re writing young girl’s elegies and you’re singing young mens blues You never saw it coming, no matter where it is ‘Cause we never saw it coming, never thought it’d end like this – dedicated to the citizens of Bailey, Colorado and Lancaster County, Pennsylvania - (words and music by Seth Green and James Wilson) copyright 2009 Munson Medication Music/Joey S Arm Publishing
