Jerry Reed - Johnny Wants To Be A Star lyrics

Now every day you'd see him out on the front porch with a guitar across his lap He'd be a sittin' there a diggin' that transistor radio pickin' all them hit songs out While the other kids would sit around and whittle on sticks Little Johnny got his guitar down and he'd pick Cause that's the way that Johnny used to get his kicks tryin' to figure out some new hot licks Little Johnny wants to be a star little Johnny wants to be a star All he wants to do is sing a little song and play music on a fine guitar Ya hear him goin' mmhhmm hmm hmm mmhhmm hmm hmm Leap in there Johnny Now every time a show would come to town you'd find Johnny on a front row seat He'd be a sittin' there a starin' all misty eyed never missin' one single beat Now when the show was over he would go straight home Get his guitar down and he would play it till dawn A dreamin' of a time when he'd be grown and someday he'd have a show of his own Little Johnny wants to be a star... One day he picked up his songs and his guitar he kissed his little mama goodbye
