Johnny’s Gone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nothing's on the level On the Reeperbahn Walking with the devil With the blue dress on All the boys in the band are gone Gone to score [Refrain] Oh, and Johnny's gone for a soldier In the rock and roll wars [Verse 2] Crying the blues She runs for cover Trying to choose 'Tween husband and lover And I am nothing but a one-night stand-in On the dance floor [Refrain] Oh, and Johnny's gone for a soldier In the rock and roll wars [Verse 3] In each town You go down to howls The bell sounds; in what round Do you throw in the towel? The only bright lights you have found Are on the exit doors [Refrain] Oh, and Johnny's gone for a soldier In the rock and roll wars [Verse 4] Somewhere in the distance A child turns four Crying for assistance His daddy is out the door At what price is this fortune and fame Worth no more? [Refrain] Oh, and Johnny's gone for a soldier In the rock and roll wars [Outro] Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress Devil with the blue dress on Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress Devil with the blue dress on Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress Devil with the blue dress on Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress Devil with the blue dress on Devil with the blue dress
