Bruce Springsteen - Johnny Bye Bye Lyrics
Well she drew out all her money from the southern trustAnd put her little boy on the greyhound busLeaving memphis with a guitar in his handWith a one way ticket to the promised landHey little girl with the red dress onTheres party tonight down in memphis downIll be going down there if you need a rideThe man on the radio says elvis presleys diedWe drove to memphis the sky was hard and blackUp over the ridge came a white cadillacThey drawed out all his money and they laid him in the backA woman cried from the roadside oh hes gone, hes goneThey found him slumped up against the drainWith a whole lotta trouble running through his veinsBye bye johnnyJohnny bye byeYou didnt have to dieYou didnt have to die(all aboard!Train I ride...Sixteen coaches long)Just like a woman (bob dylan/bob dylan)Nobody feels any painTonight as I stand inside the rainEverybody knowsThat baby has got me closedBut lately I see her ribbons and her bowsHave fallen from her curlsShe takes just like a woman, yes she doesShe makes love just like a woman, yes she doesAnd she aches just like a womanBut she breaks just like a little girlQueen mary shes my friendYes I believe Ill go see her againNobody has to guessThat baby cant be blessedtill she finally seesThat shes like all the restWith her fog her amphetamine and her pearlsIt was raining from the firstAnd I was dying there of thirstSo I came in hereAnd your long time curse hurtsBut whats worseIs this pain in hereI cant stay in hereAint it clear that I just cant fitYes I believe its for us to quitWhen we meet again introduced as friendsPlease dont let on that you knew me whenI was hungry and it was your worldAh you fake just like a woman, yes you doYou make love just like a woman, yes you doAnd you ache just like a womanBut you break just like a little girl
