Mat Kearney - Bennie and Johnnie lyrics

[Verse 1 Mat Kearney] Bennie was a good girl with a wild light deep inside Gonna see the whole world with her mama's open eyes Johnnie stood with strong hands in the Minnesota light Tryin' to hold the world up with his father's iron eyes Back seat full of memories and pictures on the floor They road the north country breeze right through those open doors [Chorus] Bennie and Johnnie Bennie and Johnnie Bennie and Johnnie [Verse #2 Mat Kearney] They found each other laughing down highway 94 They're fallin' out of Sal's again, she said from her front porch Past the pawn shop kids on the Sagatagan shore Found the same northern wind and the bells rang out for more Backpacks full of dreams; flowers on the floor Breathing out the winter steam he pulled her in real close [Chorus] Bennie and Johnnie Bennie and Johnnie Bennie and Johnnie [Verse 3] On a chapel walk together babe, you know they burned it to the ground Talkin' ‘bout forever, babe, where the aspens hold their ground Backseat full of memories, pictures of the Lord They rode the north country breeze right through the open door Backseat full of dreams, visions of the Lord If you carry this weight with me I'll shelter you from the storm [Outro] Bennie and Johnnie Bennie and Johnnie
