Rick Springfield - Me Johnny lyrics

Lookin' back I'd say we broke a few rules

Left one or two hearts in a ruin

Spent all that precious time doin'

Things we figured that presley might have done

Stole a few cars, never got caught

Started some fights in the scrimmage

We got caught up in the image

Of playing young rebels by the handbook

Looking back I guess we had some attitude

We were gonna be hard and tough

Me & johnny

We're gonna play tonight

It's gonna be alright

We're gonna shine

Look in the mirror watch our faces change

We were gonna be mccartney clones

We skipped school to see the rolling stones

And sang their songs on the train on our way home

We were gonna be like all of them

Uncompromising to the very end

Live for girls, guitars and glory

And someday they'd write our story

Sometimes I think that they clapped in sympathy

But we were gonna be hard and tough

Me & johnny

We're gonna play tonight

It's gonna be alright

We're gonna have some fun tonight

Me & johnny

We may get blood on our face

We're gonna have our place

In the sun

Johnny's still living, back in australia

I hear he's got himself a wife and kids

And I'm still chasing whatever it is

That put me out here on the road in the first place

I think of times, that I cursed out loud

Wishin' I was still runnin' with the same old crowd

Sometimes it can make you cry

Just watching the years roll by

Me & johnny

We're gonna play tonight

It's gonna be alright

We're gonna have fun tonight

Me & johnny

We may get blood on our face

We're gonna have our place

In the sun
