dave alvin - 1968 lyrics
dave alvin/chris gaffney
(blue h-rn toad music, bmi/calhoun street music/ensaga songs, bmi, administered by bug music)
johnny gave joe his first cigarette
and joe lit the filter and then he smoked the whole pack
and joe bought all the gas in johnnyâ? s old ford
he always said thatâ? s what friends were for.
when johnny married tina, joe married dee
two blonde-haired sisters from covington, kentucky
and in â? 67 johnny joined the corps
joe did too, but he never knew what for.
and tonight in this barroom heâ? s easinâ? his pain
heâ? s thinkinâ? of someone, but he wonâ? t say the name
folks say heâ? s a hero, but heâ? ll tell you he ainâ? t
he left a hero in the jungle back in 1968.
johnny went from job to job tryinâ? to make ends meet
and tina divorced him back in â? 83
now thirty years come and thirty years go
and johnnyâ? s got a grandkid that he barely knows.
and tonight in this barroom heâ? s easinâ? his pain
heâ? s thinkinâ? of someone, but he wonâ? t say the name
folks say heâ? s a hero, but heâ? ll tell you he ainâ? t
he left a hero in the jungle back in 1968.
well dee calls johnny every now and then
and talks about her children and her third husband
but when he asks about someone they used to know
dee says, â? johnny that was so long ago.â?
tonight in this barroom heâ? s easinâ? his pain
heâ? s thinkinâ? of someone, but he wonâ? t say the name
folks say heâ? s a hero; heâ? ll tell you ainâ? t
he left a hero in the jungle back in 1968
he left a hero in the jungle back in 1968.
