Where Did Johnny Go Lyrics by Blue Jay Walker

2024

[Verse 1:]
Black fly midnight
There's murder in the meadow
All peace and calm tranquility
Smothers over the scent of sulfur
Black dirt churning
They're burying the body
No cross, no stone is made to mark
Silent soul departs into afterlife
[Pre-Chorus:]
Where did Johnny go?
What did Johnny do?
What made him disappear?
Left behind a wife
Left behind a child
And that's not all I hear
Heard he had another
Hid a little boy
Whose mother wasn't here
Isn't it a shame
That he'll grow up wild?
Just like father dеar
[Chorus:]
Nobody knows
He didn't even pack his clothеs
Where'd Johnny go?
Why wouldn't he leave a note?
He's down the road
Rumour is he struck it rich
Decided to go
Traded his whole life for it
[Verse 2:]
Black heart rotting
Life ripples and it settles
The child grows up to farm the land
Underneath it all hides his father's hand
Black soul growing
The years won't stop rolling
The crops all rot, they'll never ripe
Whispers in the night:
"Something isn't right!"
[Pre-Chorus:]
Where did Johnny go?
What did Johnny do?
What made him disappear?
Left behind a wife
Left behind a child
And that's not all I hear
Heard he had another
Hid a little boy
Whose mother wasn't here
Isn't it a shame
That he'll grow up wild?
Just like father dear
[Chorus:]
Nobody knows
He didn't even pack his clothes
Where'd Johnny go?
Why wouldn't he leave a note?
He's down the road
Rumour is he struck it rich
Decided to go
Traded his whole life for it
[Bridge:]
I saw him years later
In that old train station
I saw him by the bar
Five states away from here
I saw him selling shows
On my own television
I saw him walking in
The meadows of your field
[Outro:]
Oh, nobody knows
Where'd Johnny go?
Nobody knows
Where'd Johnny go?
Somebody knows
Where'd Johnny go?
Somebody knows
Where'd Johnny go?
