Johnny Lyrics

Johnny lyrics

There was Johnny like a stranger

Living in a small town

Measuring the small time

He was thinner than a razor

Johnny in a small town

Living with his thumb on the trigger

Wishing he could be

Just a little bit bigger

Bored

To the heart of himself



He was trouble in the making

Trouble in the keeping

History repeating

He was walking into danger

Johnny in a small town

Looking for a light in the tunnel

Creeping in the dark and

Doubting that the sun'll

Shine

To the heart of himself



And he tells himself it'll be alright

Happiness is just around the corner

And he tells himself

It'll be okay

Happiness is just a life away



She was pretty as a picture

Shining in a window

Everybody said so

What did johnny have to give her

Johnny in a small town

Putting on a suit he had borrowed

Knowing she would probably

Leave him tomorrow

Weak and alone with himself



And he tells himself it'll be alright

Happiness is just around the corner

And he tells himself

It'll be okay

Happiness is just a life away



Everything is different but

It's all the same to him

Everything is nothing like it was

Before she came

Before she stayed

And went away



She left Johnny like a stranger

Waiting in a small town

Measuring the small time

Nights were longer than the days were

Living in a small town

Looking for a door he could open

Hoping that he wouldn't break until he broken

Free

To the heart of himself



And he tells himself it'll be alright

Happiness is just around the corner

And he tells himself

It'll be okay

Happiness is just a life away



And he tells himself it'll be alright

Happiness is just around the corner

And he tells himself

It'll be okay

Happiness is just a life away

A life away

Just a life away
