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

[00:00:04] Lyricist：James McMurtry

[00:00:09] Composer：James McMurtry

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:32] Just life

[00:01:36] Just life mom

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:19] Johnny moved home

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:17] She polishes the trophies

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:40] Just life

[00:03:42] Just life mom

[00:03:46] Just life

[00:03:53] Just life mom

[00:03:57] Just life
