Yeah well me and Johnny on the road seeing rainbows doubled and looking for a pot o' gold
But for every farm in Technicolor green there's a bruising sky beneath
We're just maggots on the asphalt road
Yeah well every place has got its history, and you'd erase if it'd set you free
Yeah but is it worth another landscaped wasted to just move on
Johnny, can't we make the best of it?Ohhhh
Johnny, I've sung with pleasure
It's a good life, there is no measure
Hey Johnny, in the morning
When you wake me, call me "darling"
Yeah she's gonna call me when she's down just to knock me around, long about Michigan
Yeah we wander parallel lives and I don't know why,
Sometimes it hurts just to know she breathes
Yeah but Johnny, she's got what I need, yeah but she's gonna let me bleed
And I'll just be misty-eyed again at the Olympia Inn, and adding to that pouring rainForget it Johnny, we were rocking' some kind of crazy scene
I set myself back, it's just a land grab and I got more than I need
And after all these miles, I'm just a homesick pup
But I crossed this ocean to give it my best shot
Hey Johnny, I've sung with pleasure
It's a good life, there is no measure
Hey Johnny, in the morning
When you wake me, call me darling
Hey Johnny, in the morning
When you wake me, call me darling
When you wake me, call me darling
