1) Johnny was a man from a good town south of omaha
|
He lived his dreams and raised a family
|
But he could not see the way you see, all the people and the freaks
|
Were on the empty pages in his mind
|
|
|
2) Johnnys daddy died in the big war
|
They never found his body to this day
|
It was on that beach in Normandy, Johnny hoped he'd never see
|
His daddy washed away to an early grave
|
|
|
Chorus -
|
Where were you then
|
I'm on that street again
|
Wishing I could fly away forever
|
|
|
3) Johnnys' daughter hates her life in this goddamn town
|
She runs away forever to be free
|
But the city eats her sanity, she winds up livin' on the streets
|
Wishing she could be home by the fire
|
|
Chorus
|
|
|
4) Johnny died late one night in his empty bed
|
A lonley man with no one by his side
|
It was there he slipped into his dreams, with all the people and the freaks
|
right there by his side no longer alone
|
|
|
Chorus 2x
|
