John Mellencamp - Junior lyrics

Written by: John Mellencamp

They call me Junior.

I live here on the street.

I earn two hundred dollars a week.

I'd like to say

"Hey, thanks a lot."

I know I'm missin' something

But I don't know what it is

That I don't got.

I sit here watchin'

The people down below.

I try to imagine

The places they may go.

I don't know.

I stay home a lot.

I know I'm missin' something

But I don't know what it is

That I don't got.

I see the world through the TV Guide,

What a safe place for me to run.

What a small little man I am.

I'm afraid of everything

From golden rules to airplanes.

What a small little man I am.

They call me Junior.

I'm caught up in this hell.

Sometimes I feel better

But I never do feel well.

Jesus must have one hell of a plan for me.

I know I'm missin' something

But I don't know what it is

That I don't got.

And if I have anything to say

About judgment day

There'll be a crown in heaven

For those who live this way.

Anyway,

You know exactly who you are.

I see the world through the TV Guide,

What a safe place for me to run.

What a small little man I am.

I'm afraid of everything

From the golden rule to airplanes.

What a small little man I am.

They call me Junior.

I live here on the street.

I earn two hundred dollars a week.

I'd like to say

"Hey man, thanks a lot"

My name is Junior

(Chorus out)
