Get Back
Homebound Journeys: Jojo's Quest and Loretta's Revelations
Lyrics
Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
Jojo perceived himself as a solitary individual.
But he knew it wouldn't last.
He was aware that this state of being alone wouldn't endure.
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
Jojo departed from his residence in Tucson, Arizona.
For some California grass.
He left in pursuit of marijuana in California.
