...HE WON'T BE HOME TONIGHT...
HE WON'T BE HOME,HE WON'T BE HOME TONIGHT
OOH...JOEY WAS ONLY SEVENTEEN HE LIVED INSIDE OF A CRAZY SCHEME
TO BE KING OF THE ASPHALT JUNGLE
HE CLAIMED TO BE UNREMOVABLE
HE THOUGHT TO STOP HIM WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE
FOR HIS ONLY MISSION WAS TO GET PAID IN FULL
THE RAIN WAS ABOUT TO FALL ON HIS LIFE
A CLOUD OVER HIS HEAD BLOCKING THE TRUTH FROM THE SUNLIGHT
HE WOULD NOT LISTEN TO WHAT NOBODY SAID
HE CLOSED HIS MIND & ONLY SAW THINGS HIS WAY
NOW HE'S ANOTHER STATISTIC,WHAT A FOOLISH WAY TO DIE
HIS SOUL IS FLYING IN THE SKY
HE WON'T BE HOME TONIGHT,HE WON'T BE HOME TONIGHT
HE WON'T BE HOME TONIGHT,HEAVEN IS HIS HOME TONIGHT
& ALL THAT HE LEFT BEHIND WERE SHOES HANGING ON THE WIRE
WITH HIS PICTURE TAPED TO A POLE
WITH A TEDDY BEAR THAT NO ONE WILL HOLD...TONIGHT
DAYS ARE DARK,BUT BRIGHTLY COLD,I HEAR YOUR VOICE IN THE NIGHT
& IN THE MORNING...HEY,YO
WAS THE ROAD YOU TRAVELLED WORTH THE LIFE YOU GAVE
CAUSE THE PRICE YOU PAID LIES SIX FEET DOWN IN A COLD GRAVE
& WHEN HIS SON ASKS,"OH,WHERE IS MY FATHER?"
THERE'S NOTHING A FRIEND OR FAMILY CAN SAY
HE WON'T BE HOME,HE WON'T BE HOME TONIGHT
HE WON'T BE HOME TONIGHT,HEAVEN IS HIS HOME TONIGHT
& ALL THAT HE LEFT BEHIND WAS HIS SHOES HANGING ON THE WIRE
WITH HIS PICTURE TAPED TO A POLE,WITH A TEDDY BEAR THAT NO ONE
WILL EVER HOLD...TONIGHT...NO,HE WON'T BE HOME TONIGHT
HE WON'T BE HOME TONIGHT,HE WON'T BE HOME TONIGHT
...HOME TONIGHT...HEAVEN IS HIS HOME TONIGHT
HE'LL BE WITH BIGGIE,HE'LL BE WITH TUPAC,HE'LL BE WITH EASY E,
HE'LL BE WITH OL' DIRTY B...HE WON'T BE ALONE TONIGHT
ANOTHER NAME IS WRITTEN ON THE SIDE OF A GHETTO WALL
