Where's Johnny Lyrics

Young Johnny?
he really had a way?
he did his homework on the schoolbus?
and always got an A?
and the girls like Johnny?
more than anyone except maybe Elton John?
later on in high school?
he couldn't keep his red suspenders on?
oh where's Johnny?
has he gone away?
oh where's Johnny?
will he back back someday?
He had a room full of trophies?
from the track meets and tennis games he'd win?
he was a full blown whiz kid?
bound to be a Renaissance man?
then he went on off to college?
got his head stuck in a different state of mind?
when they asked him was it alcohol?
he told 'em it was nothin' of the kind?
just life?
just life Mom?
oh where's Johnny?
has he gone away?
oh where's Johnny?
will he back back someday?
but Johnny's alright?
he just turned out his lights?Shawn Mullins - Where's Johnny - http://motolyrics.com/shawn-mullins/wheres-johnny-lyrics.html
they'd have paid it no mind?
had he not been so bright?
he opened up his eyes?
and snapped out in a groove?
he saw both sides of everthing?
and found he could not move?
Johnny moved back home?
now he reads a lot of poetry and plays?
he'll sit out in the backyard?
and not say a word to anyone for days?
and his folks gave up?
they no longer even bother gettin' through?
he's 30 odd years old?
I guess they figured there's just so much you can do?
his mother keeps his pictures?
in the scrapbook in the drawer with her pearls?
and she polishes the trophies?
that he won back when they thought he'd save the world?
back when the girls liked Johnny?
more than anyone except maybe Elton John?
she wonders wheres her little boy?
with the braces and the red suspenders gone?
just life?
just life Mom?
just life?
just life...
