Johnny Set Em Up |
Well I’m near the city on the south side at the shore |
And the folks around here think I’m not just right |
What, with sleeping in the morning when they’re half way through the day |
Playing music half way through the night |
And the postman thinks I’m crazy because I don’t pick up my mail |
Cause I know it’s gonna be the same old story |
Final notices and traffic tickets lying in the corner |
The words are different, but I still know what they mean |
So I think I’ll sweep the dust off |
I might even cut the grass |
And I’ll put away my Springsteen and Tom Waits |
Put a notice in the paper, and if they give me what I’m asking |
Fill the car, don’t forget to close the gate |
Johnny set 'em up tonight, cause tonight I’m coming home |
Call the boys and try to find them, ask them if they’ll come around |
Cause my eyes are getting tired and my ears are getting sore |
Johnny set 'em up tonight, I’m not going away no more |
It was easy when we started, all we had were cheap guitars |
And the times we had just won’t come 'round again |
There was music in the evening, and if nobody was listening |
Nobody cared, and so we piled into the cars |
Swimming in the sea at night and listening to the radio |
And working in the daytime if you wanted to |
But now those days are dead and gone and everybody’s scattered round |
Maybe there’ll be someone left to play… |
Johnny set 'em up tonight, cause tonight I’m coming home |
Call the boys and try to find them, ask them if they’ll come around |
Cause my eyes are getting tired and my ears are getting sore |
Johnny set 'em up tonight |
Johnny set 'em up tonight |
Johnny set 'em up tonight, I’m not going away no more |
