Me And Johnny Lyrics

          "Me & Johnny"
       by Rick Springfield
        from Living in Oz
      (c) 1983 RCA records

Lookin' back I'd say we broke a few rules
Left one or two hearts in ruin
Spent all that precious time doin'
things we figured 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

Lookin' back I guess we had some attitude
We were gonna be hard and tough

Bridge:  Me and Johnny
         We're gonn 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 symapthy
But we were gonna be hard and tough

Chours:  Me and Johnny
         We're gonna play tonight
         it's gonna be alright
         We're gonna have some fun tonight
         Me and 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 all the time I cursed out loud
Wishing I was still runnin' with the same old crowd
Sometimes it can make you cry
Just watching the years roll by 

Bridge

Chorus
