Where's Johnny - James Mcmurtry[00:00:00]

Lyricist：James McMurtry[00:00:04]

Composer：James McMurtry[00:00:09]

Young Johnny he really had a way[00:00:14]

He did his homework on the school bus[00:00:21]

And he always got an a[00:00:23]

And the girls liked Johnny[00:00:28]

More than anyone 'cept maybe Elton John[00:00:30]

Later on in high school[00:00:37]

He couldn't keep his red suspenders on[00:00:39]

Oh where's Johnny has he gone away[00:00:46]

Oh where's Johnny will he be back someday[00:00:55]

He had a room full of trophies[00:01:01]

From the track meets and the tennis games he'd win[00:01:04]

He was a full blown whiz kid[00:01:10]

He's bound to be a Renaissance man[00:01:12]

Then he went on off to college[00:01:18]

Got his head stuck in a different state of mind[00:01:20]

When they asked him was it alcohol[00:01:26]

He told them it was nothing of the kind[00:01:29]

Just life[00:01:32]

Just life mom[00:01:36]

Oh where's Johnny has he gone away[00:01:40]

Oh where's Johnny will he be back someday[00:01:49]

Oh but Johnny's alright he just turned out his lights[00:01:59]

They'd have paid it no mind had he not been so bright[00:02:04]

He opened up his eyes and he snapped out of the groove[00:02:08]

He saw both sides of everything and found he could not move[00:02:12]

Johnny moved home[00:02:19]

Now he reads a lot of poetry and plays[00:02:20]

He'll sit out in the backyard[00:02:27]

And not say a word to anyone for days[00:02:29]

And his folks gave up[00:02:35]

They no longer even bother getting through[00:02:37]

And he's thirty odd years old[00:02:43]

They must have figured there's just so much you can do[00:02:45]

His mother keeps his pictures[00:03:09]

In the scrapbook in the drawer with her pearls[00:03:10]

She polishes the trophies[00:03:17]

That he won back when they thought he'd save the world[00:03:19]

Back when the girls liked Johnny[00:03:24]

More than anyone 'cept maybe Elton John[00:03:27]

She wonders where's her little boy[00:03:33]

With the braces and the red suspenders gone[00:03:35]

Just life[00:03:40]

Just life mom[00:03:42]

Just life[00:03:46]

Just life mom[00:03:53]

Just life[00:03:57]
