Johnny's Journey

Johnny left town
On a broken down bus
With a jumpin' Jack's crazy parade
Searchin' for a Promised land never to come

Johnny's on a journey no end in sight
Through the darkness chasing light
Never to win but never to lose
On a trip where he can't choose

Johnny's been sick for sixteen years
With a ground-up piece of a wind
Solid it seems Johnny made his way
Through the rain, like in a way

Johnny's on a journey no end in sight
Through the darkness chasing light
Never to win but never to lose
On a trip where he can't choose

True to life but searchin' for a gold diamond ring
Lookin' and lookin', with a brass shackle locked to his leg
Only broken when his mind is rearranged
Ohhh, in Johnny's little room without a view

Johnny's on a journey no end in sight
Through the darkness chasing light
Never to win but never to lose
On a trip where he can't choose

Johnny's dreams are distant stars
Guiding him through endless night
He carries scars from battles lost
But keeps the fire burning bright

Johnny's on a journey no end in sight
Through the darkness chasing light
Never to win but never to lose
On a trip where he can't choose

Johnny left town on a broken down bus
Searching for a promised land
Never to come
Never to come

Johnny left town on a broken down bus
Searching for a promised land
Never to come
