Johnny Needs a Fast Car
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 needs a fast car
Johnny needs it bad
Johnny always do the best whatever Johnny has
Johnny needs a fast one
Johnny needs it now
You got to give him something to let him show you how
Johnny needs a fast car
Johnny needs a fast car
Johnny needs a break
Johnny don't need good luck
'Cos Johnny never fakes
He'll always make it look good
You'll always see him smile
Give Johnny a few inches and he'll give you back a mile
Johnny needs a fast car
Johnny needs a fast car
Tears upon the broken bones of luck that never went his way
Bless this one you'll know him by his smile
