Joni, oh Joni
You're never in doubt
When the light starts to shine
And you spill it all out

Oh when the moon
Takes it all too soon
And the whole world falls in decline

Everybody knows somebody
Who goes home the wrong way - someday

Everybody knows somebody
Who tries to make things better
And ends up making it worse - anyway

Joni, oh Joni
You're better than that
When they took him away
Your face fell flat

Oh when your son
Is the only one
And it falls to the others to shine

Everybody knows somebody
Who goes home the wrong way - someday

Everybody knows somebody
Who tries to make things better
And ends up making it worse - anyway
