Im goin back to sentimental Johnny
'Cause sentimental Johnny is your man
Sunshine or rain, the mans on his game
The chairman of the boardsHe 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, Ill be gone
Im goin back to sentimental Johnny
To take in all I can, to take in all I can
Once moreWell, it was back in good ol 57
When Johnny met Elvis in Memphis
Rockin on sun where it all begun
A story yet to endAnd by this time, were drinkin up the fever
And in me, he has a true believer
If only I could, just for one word
To live it all againLeave me to die in the wreckage
As soon as it burns, Ill be gone
Im goin back to sentimental Johnny
To take in all I can, to take in all I canRio, why dont you meet me down in Rio again
Down in Rio, the carnival, it never ends
Down in Rio, well find a perfect world in Rio again
Down in Rio, where the women still love their menWell Johnny, its two in the mornin
Dont you think, its time we should go
Back to our millions of records we love
Back to our sad little homesThat was the last time I saw him
Never, no, never, no more
I wonder did Jesus come to redeem him
Save poor Johnnys ol soul
I wonder did Jesus come to redeem him
Save poor Johnnys ol soulLeave me to die in the wreckage
As soon as it burns, Ill be gone
Im goin back to sentimental Johnny
To take in all I can, to take in all I can
To take in all I can
Once more
