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 finger 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 a tunnel, creeping in the dark

and doubting if the sun'll shine to the heart of himself

And he tells himself it'll be all right, 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

Leave him alone with himself

And he tells himself it'll be all right, 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'd broken free to the heart of himself

And he tells himself it'll be all right, happiness is just around the

corner

And he tells himself it'll be okay, happiness is just a life away
