Song for Johnny
I'll listen to your tired steps
Your baby will wait for you
There's a perfect shining fire
That lights your way
I hide myself behind your black elegant suit
Watching the furious river of life
Running through you
The cruel river of history is rolling into your chest
Why did you believe in god?
There is no heaven to thank
Why did you believe in America?
There's just a mouth of fire to kiss
I'm not taking my guns to town
Dad, I don't have chains around my feet again
Just a four coins Jesus icon in my pocket
And ticket for a place I'll never know
The anger of America bleeds from your hands
The faith of America sleeps in your chest
No revenge, no blessing
Your baby will wait for you
There's a perfect shining fire
That lights your way
I hide myself behind your black elegant suit
Watching the furious river of life
Running through you
The cruel river of history is rolling into your chest
Why did you believe in god?
There is no heaven to thank
Why did you believe in America?
There's just a mouth of fire to kiss
I'm not taking my guns to town
Dad, I don't have chains around my feet again
Just a four coins Jesus icon in my pocket
And ticket for a place I'll never know
The anger of America bleeds from your hands
The faith of America sleeps in your chest
No revenge, no blessing
