Johnny's Not Here
Sweet shipwrecked seventeen
With her makeup all over her face
Silver eagle bootlace in her hand
She got kicked out on the street
When she told him what had happened
Daddy did not understand
A victim of the whims of man
It's happened before
Don't waste your tears
Johnny's not here my dear
Johnny's not here my dear
This is the place where Johnny used to stay
Johnny's not here my dear
He found out from a friend
That trouble was on its way
And Johnny felt that he could not breathe
Every minute that passed
He lived it like it was his last
He decided it was time to leave
It was a case of close your eyes and say goodbye
Or just walk out that door
Don't waste your time
Johnny's not here my dear
Johnny's not here my dear
This is the place where Johnny used to stay
Johnny's not here my dear
The people stood like scarecrows
Oblivious to it all
As she ran crying down the street
She ran down crow road
Till she came to St Jude's
November twenty free
Nineteen sixty three
Johnny's not here
Johnny's not here my dear
Johnny's not here my dear
This is the place where Johnny used to stay
Johnny's not here my dear, no, no
Johnny's not here my dear
Johnny's not here my dear
This is the place where Johnny used to stay
Johnny's not here my dear
With her makeup all over her face
Silver eagle bootlace in her hand
She got kicked out on the street
When she told him what had happened
Daddy did not understand
A victim of the whims of man
It's happened before
Don't waste your tears
Johnny's not here my dear
Johnny's not here my dear
This is the place where Johnny used to stay
Johnny's not here my dear
He found out from a friend
That trouble was on its way
And Johnny felt that he could not breathe
Every minute that passed
He lived it like it was his last
He decided it was time to leave
It was a case of close your eyes and say goodbye
Or just walk out that door
Don't waste your time
Johnny's not here my dear
Johnny's not here my dear
This is the place where Johnny used to stay
Johnny's not here my dear
The people stood like scarecrows
Oblivious to it all
As she ran crying down the street
She ran down crow road
Till she came to St Jude's
November twenty free
Nineteen sixty three
Johnny's not here
Johnny's not here my dear
Johnny's not here my dear
This is the place where Johnny used to stay
Johnny's not here my dear, no, no
Johnny's not here my dear
Johnny's not here my dear
This is the place where Johnny used to stay
Johnny's not here my dear
