Hawksley Workman No More Named Johnny Lyrics

No More Named Johnny Lyrics

No More Named Johnny

No more named Johnny
I’ve been broken too
much before
The girls are on display in the window
And the boys are in
the freezer room

I’ve been crushed by too many
Johnny’s
And I never want to hear that name
There’s a fist
full of flowers in the window
That you gave me when I got off the
plane

You’ve been chasing me 
Falling down those spring fed
wells
Before farewells
Oh those fond farewells
Oh they get us every
time

No more named Johnny
I’ve been standing in the rain since
June
I wound up my watch till I broke the springs
Now I’ll never
have the time for you

You’re a cold and lonely Johnny
Do you
ever drive an ice cream truck
Off the highway to a clear cut track
To
that dirty place where we got stuck?

You can be sure I’ll never
whisper that word
