Johnny Lobo |
| Once upon a dusty reservation |
| Somewhere in the land of Sitting Bull |
| Johnny Lobo played with fire and dreamed of open spaces |
| Locked inside a heaven gone to hell |
| All the dreams were gone but not forgotten |
| Murdered like the holy buffalo |
| But Johnny Lobo knew the rules and grew into a warrior |
| Fighting for his people and his soul |
| Oh… Johnny Lobo |
| Oh… Johnny Lobo |
| Loaded down with lessons that he carried |
| Home from Viet Nam to Wounded Knee |
| Johnny Lobo burned a flag he knew had been dishonored |
| Paid the price for thinking he was free |
| Someone set his house on fire, burned it to the ground |
| With his wife and children locked inside |
| Later when the bitter tears were falling to the ashes |
| Something good in Johnny Lobo died |
| Oh… Johnny Lobo |
| Oh… Johnny Lobo |
| In a darkened corner of a tavern |
| Burning down old memories again |
| Johnny Lobo stares into the smoke and dream of clouds |
| Running like wild horses with the wind |
| Holy Phoenix rising from the ashes |
| Into the circle of the sun |
| Johnny Lobo’s warrior heart was burnished in the embers |
| And the battle’s just begun |
| Oh… Johnny Lobo |
| Oh… Johnny Lobo |
