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 finger 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 a tunnel, creeping in the dark
and doubting if the sun`ll shine to the heart of himself

And he tells himself it`ll be all right, 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
Leave him alone with himself

And he tells himself it`ll be all right, 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`d broken free to the heart of himself

And he tells himself it`ll be all right, happiness is just around the
corner
And he tells himself it`ll be okay, happiness is just a life away
