With a will of iron and a heart of gold and a life he did not choose
|
He'd hold his head up high and proud beaten black and blue
|
A shot of whiskey down his gullet and a bottle in his hand
|
Thrust into a world that would never understand
|
Oh Johnny look at, look at what you've done
|
Chose life with the bottle and threw away your love
|
Hey Johnny did you, did you lose your way
|
Never knew the price you'd pay
|
Look away, look away, look away your irish flag
|
There's a war, there's a war, there's a war inside yourself
|
Look away, look away, look away while you still can
|
At war with a world that would never understand
|
Johnny had himself a love that he planned to make his wife
|
Who through it all whether right or wrong was always by his side
|
Then in a fit of rage, he raised his hand up to her face
|
She dried off her tears then she turned and walked away
|
