What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Sun through the window like a boogey man
2
Unfinished curtains on the nightstand
3
Alarm clock bounces off my head
4
Phone is ringing beside my bed
5
My son is dressed and waiting on the step
6
It's the head nurse calling from Parkland
7
I got a kid. His name's John-John
8
Born the same day as the President's son
9
Today is the day of the big parade
10
But they're short at work and it's double pay
11
That means a new scooter on your birthday
12
But the President will have to wait"¦
13
Take Public Transit 109
14
Bounce out at the Parkland sign
15
Bring him to work and show him "˜round
16
Grab that bucket, mop, and gown
17
Towels, bed sheets, blankets and diapers
18
Wheel him "˜round in the laundry hamper
19
John was the Prez, a mop was Jackie K.
20
We were a two-man motorcade
21
A girl stopped skipping to watch us shoot past
22
He blew her a kiss and then through the glass
23
Of the emergency doors we turned to see
24
Blood and roses, guns and grief
25
Bring him in and lay him down
26
John, bring the surgeons gloves and gowns!
27
Through the black suits darting to and fro
28
I could see her shaking and alone
29
"John-John put that bullet back
30
And offer Mrs. Kennedy your hand
31
Hold it tight "˜till her cryin's done
32
And don't look back, I won't be long"¦"
33
I brought fresh linen for the President
34
I watched the doctors pronounce him dead
35
Then a light voice said, "Is this your son?
36
He held my hand and my cryin's done."
37
Then John-John said, "You better get along,
38
You've got a birthday to plan when you get home"¦"
39
She bent down and kissed my John-John's face
40
Smoothed her bloody dress into place
41
And with her son's love as her staff
42
She lifted a nation upon her back
43
She turned and nodded, we nodded back
44
As they carried her husband from Parkland"¦ John-John put that bullet back!
