June fell for Johnny on the Forth of July,
|
As the fireworks popped in the summer sky.
|
With a spark in her eye, she just there an' stared,
|
As his face lit up to the rocket's red glare.
|
An' by September, she'd asked him for a weddiing band.
|
How could she know he was a ramblin' man.
|
He walked out the door in the dead of the night.
|
An' a sleepy voice whispered, as he turned out the light:
|
|
"Where you gonna go?
|
"What you gonna do when you get there?
|
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
|
"Oh, you're never gonna find,
|
"Someone who loves you like I do.
|
"If you get tired of runnin',
|
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."
|
|
He called up to tell her he missed her a lot.
|
Texas Panhandle was as far as he got.
|
He'd run out money, he'd run of luck:
|
He'd run out of gas in his pick-up truck.
|
"Hitch a ride, catch a train or a Greyhound bus,
|
"'Cause there's a baby on the way an' that makes three of us.
|
"An' I need you here beside me, I can't go it alone,"
|
She told him one more time then she hung up the 'phone,
|
|
Sayin': "Where you gonna go?
|
"What you gonna do when you get there?
|
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
|
"You know, you're never gonna find,
|
"Someone who loves you like I do.
|
"When you get tired of runnin',
|
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."
|
|
An' the years just seemed to roll on by them.
|
She missed him more an' more every day.
|
An' that boy grew up to look and act just like him,
|
An' she knew some day soon he'd be old enough to fly away.
|
|
An' she'd say: "Baby, where you gonna go?
|
"What you gonna do when you get there?
|
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
|
"You know, you're never gonna find,
|
"Someone who loves you like I do.
|
"When you get tired of runnin',
|
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."
|
|
"If you ever get tired of runnin',
|
"Turn around an' walk back to me."
