I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny
|
Cause Sentimental Johnny is your man
|
Sunshine or rain, the man's on his game
|
The Chairman of the boards
|
He said Jesus, he walks on water
|
Not like us, he must have been sober
|
Marching away, on top of his lake
|
The Savior of all souls
|
|
Leave me to die in the wreckage
|
As soon as it burns, I'll be gone
|
I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)
|
To take in all I can (once more!)
|
To take in all I can (once more!)
|
|
Well it was back in good ol' 57
|
When Johnny met Elvis in Memphis
|
Rockin' on sun
|
Where it all begun
|
A story yet to end
|
And by this time, we're drinkin' up a fever
|
And in me, he has a true believer
|
If only I could, just for one word
|
To live it all again
|
|
Leave me to die in the wreckage
|
As soon as it burns, I'll be gone
|
I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)
|
To take in all I can (once more!)
|
To take in all I can (once more!)
|
|
Rio, why don't you meet me down in Rio: again
|
Down in Rio, the carnival it never ends
|
Down in Rio, we'll find a perfect world in Rio: again
|
Down in Rio, where the women still love their men
|
|
Well Johnny, it's two in the mornin'
|
Don't you think, it's time we should go
|
Back to our millions of records we love
|
Back to our sad little homes
|
That was the last time I saw him
|
Never, no never no more
|
I wonder did Jesus, came to redeem him
|
Save poor Johnny's ol' soul
|
I wonder did Jesus, come to redeem him
|
Save poor Johnny's ol' soul
|
|
Leave me to die in the wreckage
|
As soon as it burns, I'll be gone
|
I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)
|
To take in all I can (once more!)
|
To take in all I can (once more!)
