Listen: “John L. and Helen”
You never think when it starts that it’s gonna end like this
But it’s a dangerous path that led to their hearts from an innocent kiss
You see, John L. had a thing for Helen
And it kinda got outta hand
Now, today there’s a funeral
And everybody’s sayin they don’t understand
Yes, it’s hard to remain unaffected
So many tears in this tiny little town
As on opposite ends of the graveyard
John L and Helen are laid in the ground
You never think when it starts that it’s gonna end like this
But it’s a dangerous path that led to their hearts from an innocent kiss
John L and Helen never knew what hit um
Shots were fired through the window of the car
Now folks are saying, folks are praying
They died in each other’s arms
You never think when it starts that it’s gonna end like this
But it’s a dangerous path that led to their hearts from an innocent kiss
Though words are now read from the Bible
There’s really nothing anybody can say
To put a spin on this, or change the face of it
And the fact that choices were made
And who wants to confess they just can’t resist
The taste of love on their lips
John L had a thing for Helen
And it kinda got outta hand
Now, today there’s a funeral
And everybody’s saying they don’t understand
