Johnny lyrics

There was Johnny like a stranger
Living in a small town
Measuring the small time
He was thinner than a razor
Johnny in a small town
Living with his thumb on the trigger
Wishing he could be
Just a little bit bigger
Bored
To the heart of himself

He was trouble in the making
Trouble in the keeping
History repeating
He was walking into danger
Johnny in a small town
Looking for a light in the tunnel
Creeping in the dark and
Doubting that the sun`ll
Shine
To the heart of himself

And he tells himself it`ll be alright
Happiness is just around the corner
And he tells himself
It`ll be okay
Happiness is just a life away

She was pretty as a picture
Shining in a window
Everybody said so
What did johnny have to give her
Johnny in a small town
Putting on a suit he had borrowed
Knowing she would probably
Leave him tomorrow
Weak and alone with himself

And he tells himself it`ll be alright
Happiness is just around the corner
And he tells himself
It`ll be okay
Happiness is just a life away

Everything is different but
It`s all the same to him
Everything is nothing like it was
Before she came
Before she stayed
And went away

She left Johnny like a stranger
Waiting in a small town
Measuring the small time
Nights were longer than the days were
Living in a small town
Looking for a door he could open
Hoping that he wouldn`t break until he broken
Free
To the heart of himself

And he tells himself it`ll be alright
Happiness is just around the corner
And he tells himself
It`ll be okay
Happiness is just a life away

And he tells himself it`ll be alright
Happiness is just around the corner
And he tells himself
It`ll be okay
Happiness is just a life away
A life away
Just a life away
