Well, Johnny |
|
Mae and William |
|
J, hitched a ride from sunny |
|
L.A.With a soldier who'd gone |
|
AWOL, stockade bound and they got off |
|
In the Texas rain and they hopped a southern diesel train |
|
Headed to |
|
Atlanta, my hometown |
|
Where she danced all night in a go, go bar |
|
And he tried his best to play bass guitar |
|
In the absolute worst punk band ever heard |
|
But she got tired of the |
|
Georgia clay |
|
And a drunk musician who couldn't even play |
|
So she took a bus to |
|
Boston without a word |
|
He never got to say goodbye and he has to wonder why |
|
It keeps him up all night, the way she wore her hair |
|
It keeps him up all night her voice is everywhere |
|
It keeps him up all night, she's out there |
|
Searchin' somewhere for somethin' of her own |
|
Well, old |
|
Will kept makin' bad music worse |
|
But the whiskey and the pills |
|
Wouldn't quench his thirst no more |
|
So he stuck a needle in his arm then he lost his band |
|
He started liftin' shops it didn't take too long |
|
To get cuffed by the cops and right about now |
|
He's a workin' on the county farm |
|
It's never easier to say goodbye and she has to wonder why |
|
It keeps her up all night the way he held her hand |
|
It keeps her up all night, he was her only man |
|
It keeps her up all night, she's out there |
|
Searchin' somewhere for somethin' of her own |
|
To get where you need to be, you'll go through anything |
|
And on your way to be free, you know, love is everything |
|
Baby, love is everything, it keeps us up all night |
|
Yes, love is everything, it keeps us up all night |
|
Yes, love is everything, it keeps us up all night |
|
We're out there |
|
Searchin' somewhere, for somethin' of our own |
|
It keeps us up all night, we're out there |
|
Searchin' somewhere for somethin' of our own |
