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
