Johnny Lyrics by Daniel Rodriguez

2018

Johnny went down to the railroad track
Said goodbye and he never came back
There's no body that was ever found
Just legends heard of him from miles and miles around


Some say he was taken by a rapture
And some say they've seen a man of his stature
Comin' in and comin' out of the woods
With a long beard and a long hood


Oh what Johnny left behind
Record collection, half bottle o' wine
Volume turned up and the radio on
The record spinning it was playing his song


Singing "Johnny, Johnny be good!"
Johnny walked right over the neighborhood
Some say he left us too soon
Some say they hear him, he's howlin' at the moon


One fine day I went out for a walk
Behind the church, the neighborhood block
Behind the school and the railroad yard
Just when I thought that I went too far

I went farther to the overlook
The one in the pictures that Johnny took
He kept one tucked inside of his favorite book
Kept one taped to the dashboard of his truck

Just when I thought it was getting late
Full moon rose the clock struck eight
Took one last look then tuned around
And as I did I heard the strangest sound

So I stopped, looked back saw a peculiar sight
A silhouette inside the pale moonlight
An' something struck me strange, somehow I knew
The silhouette was Johnny
An' Johnny's howlin' at the-

"Johnny, Johnny be good!"
Johnny walked right over the neighborhood
Some say he left us too soon
Some say they hear him, he's howlin' at the-

"Johnny, Johnny be good!"
Johnny walked right over the neighborhood
Some say he left us too soon
Some say they hear him, he's howlin' at the moon
