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
