me & johnny

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
