Lyrics

Johnny Boy
By Terry Eilers-Kincaid and Mariam
BMI 2006

Johnny Boy loved the country, but Johnny Boy loved the fame
Always wantin? to be left alone, but wantin? everyone to know his name
So he finally took that guitar, and all those songs he sang
Johnny Boy left the Country, and Johnny Boy found the fame

Johnny Boy saw those bright lights, and found his pleasures fulfilled
A life of never wanting, and all those hearts that he could steal
Long as he could makem? happy, & spend their money with no shame
Johnny Boy missed the country, but everbody knew his name

Chorus
Said he?s goin? back to that Blue Mountain Country
Goin? back, cause it?d always be the same
And he knew that they?d always forgive him
It was something that he never could explain


Well Johnny Boy?s star mighta? faded, just a little when he was getting? old
He?d punished his mind and his body, and tortured his heart and his soul
But Johnny Boy found religion, just in time when the devil took hold
But it was heartache and the love he lost, that finally took its toll

Johnny Boy loved the country, but Johnny Boy loved the fame

To Chorus ? humming - twice
