1) Johnny was a man from a good town south of omaha He lived his dreams and raised a family But he could not see the way you see, all the people and the freaks Were on the empty pages in his mind 2) Johnnys daddy died in the big war They never found his body to this day It was on that beach in Normandy, Johnny hoped he'd never see His daddy washed away to an early grave Chorus - Where were you then I'm on that street again Wishing I could fly away forever 3) Johnnys' daughter hates her life in this goddamn town She runs away forever to be free But the city eats her sanity, she winds up livin' on the streets Wishing she could be home by the fire Chorus 4) Johnny died late one night in his empty bed A lonley man with no one by his side It was there he slipped into his dreams, with all the people and the freaks Right there by his side no longer alone Chorus 2x
