Johnny Was A Soldier
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Johnny joined the army
The cause he didn't know
He served three years
In the Middle East
You know it doesn't show
Johnny was a soldier
He can't dance anymore
When he came out
He tried to form a band
But he's only got one leg
And he can hardly stand
Now he drinks alone
He gets sentimental
He watches girls dance
And he's thrown away his medals.
