Springfield Rick - Me and Johnny Lyrics

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 that Presley might have done

Stole a few cars, never got caught, we 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

Me and Johnny, we're gonna 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 sympathy
But we were gonna be hard and tough

Chorus:
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 livin' back in Australia
I hear he's got himself a wife and kids
And I'm still chasin' whatever it is
That put me out here on the road in the first place

I think of all the times I've cursed out loud
Wishin' I was still runnin' with the same old crowd
Sometimes it can make you cry, just watchin' the years roll by

Me and Johnny, we're gonna play tonight, it's gonna be alright
We're gonna shine

chorus repeats out
