Flogging Molly - Sentimental Johnny Lyrics
I'm goin' back to Sentimental JohnnyCause Sentimental Johnny is your manSunshine or rain, the man's on his gameThe Chairman of the boardsHe said Jesus, he walks on waterNot like us, he must have been soberMarching away, on top of his lakeThe Savior of all soulsLeave me to die in the wreckageAs soon as it burns, I'll be goneI'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)To take in all I can (once more!)To take in all I can (once more!)Well it was back in good ol' 57When Johnny met Elvis in MemphisRockin' on sunWhere it all begunA story yet to endAnd by this time, we're drinkin' up a feverAnd in me, he has a true believerIf only I could, just for one wordTo live it all againLeave me to die in the wreckageAs soon as it burns, I'll be goneI'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)To take in all I can (once more!)To take in all I can (once more!)Rio, why don't you meet me down in Rio: againDown in Rio, the carnival it never endsDown in Rio, we'll find a perfect world in Rio: againDown in Rio, where the women still love their menWell Johnny, it's two in the mornin'Don't you think, it's time we should goBack to our millions of records we loveBack to our sad little homesThat was the last time I saw himNever, no never no moreI wonder did Jesus, came to redeem himSave poor Johnny's ol' soulI wonder did Jesus, come to redeem himSave poor Johnny's ol' soulLeave me to die in the wreckageAs soon as it burns, I'll be goneI'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)To take in all I can (once more!)To take in all I can (once more!)
