Trish Murphy - Johnny Too Blue lyrics

Johnny used to babysit He was the misfit Momma's little brother in his military outfit Turning all the lights out Smoking on the floor We used to listen to him listening to the Doors My little brother must have been about two He said "Johnny, you're the meaner man I never knew." Oh Johnny dropped bombs on Viet Nam Couldn't really look back Never really came back Son don't you quit Get a handle on it Boy settle down, they know you too well in this town Got himself a wife Got himself a daughter She must be grown now; He never even saw her Oooh, Johnny too blue Johnny be a good kid Do like your daddy did The man of the hosue can't afford to be stupid Driving down the road in your momma's big car Johnny don't you go too far Teenage girlfriend She was one of my friends Cooking Johnny supper in the little apartment They went one night To get a cup of coffee Johnny got angry... He hauled off He hit her upside the head Wasn't really murder He caught her on the temple Didn't mean to hurt her Johnny got out after serving three to five Still talking to her like she was still alive Why? Johnny goodbye Johnny be a good kid Do like your daddy did The man of the hosue can't afford to be stupid Driving down the road in your momma's big car Johnny don't you go too far Ooooh Johnny be a good kid Do like your daddy did The man of the hosue can't afford to be stupid Driving down the road in your momma's big car
