Johnny Sunrise

"You're a star," he says, "you've bottled your grace

It's a laugh to watch you try to keep pace

With the steps we made together one night with beer

And you called me Johnny Sunrise."

Johnny Sunrise walks away from me

Takes his time and he takes me too seriously

Locks his thoughts away in a box he built

While I was gone

Johnny sunrise

Chorus

But remember the bite of those November nights when we rode out

To fight for the light of our lives to be turned out

Sweat and perfume and new bread as the moon faded

Stumbling home spilling out stories we wouldn't forget in a hurry

But then we weren't in a hurry

Our faces are mirrors lines and scars that we've earned

All the classes we missed all the lessons we learned

All the roads that we took that took us apart

Now you're sitting there saying, "Let's go back to the start."

And he says, "Lose that luggagge let it all go

Job you got job you lost what it cost al lthe things you now know

All the girls you once had and the man that you are

Let's climb off this world again

And climb into my car

Let's climb into my car

Drive away in my car."

Spilling out stories we wouldn't forget in a million years

But then we didn't have a million years

Johnny

Hurry up
