Johnny Comes Home

Johnny ran off on the next boat set to sail

Johnny rode on, stars in his eyes

With the sun setting on the trail

Then he hitch hiked from heaven to hell

And returned with a story to tell

And here it comes

Johnny go here, Johnny go there,

Johnny always got a lot to say

Everyone knows Johnny's in town

When the piper comes around

Well it's gonna be crazy tonite,

There'll be action and camera and lites

And here it goes

Cos when Johnny comes home he's the life of the party;

Back from around the world

And his stories are filled with pirates & poseurs,

Poets & party girls

Johnny found gold, Johnny found love,

Johnny found jesus in a bar

Everyone's heard all the tall tales

From the prodigal superstar

We believe every word of it all.

We just add in a measure of salt

And here we go

Cos when Johnny comes home he's the life of the party;

Back from another world

And his stories are filled with pirates & poseurs,

Poets & party girls

But he ran outa time on the clock,

Now their bringin' him home in a box

And there he goes

And when Johnny comes home he's the life of the party;

Back from around the world

And his stories are filled with pirates & poseurs, poets & party girls
