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 |
