indio saravanja – johnny guitar lyrics

Loading...

i had a friend who lived alone
without a place to call his own
just like a rambling rolling stone
and johnny guitar was his name

his legend spread from new york town
to paris france and back around
and though he had the golden sound
he never had a taste of fame

they say he started awful young
back in the day when the poets sung
when words could get you shot or hung
or buried long before your time
i dreamed last night a dream so true
that johnny told me not to do
the things he did that made him blue
and good as dеad at 29

now some men just can’t play a part
that separatеs, divides a heart
cause when they lie illusions start
to make impressions on their souls

and when they do it gets obscene
to see a man without no dreams
like when a wounded horse it screams
like seeing a crow fall from its pole

the best girls are too hard to hold
the biggest stories can’t be told
the sweetest notes just can’t be sold
that’s how it must’ve been with john

the last days he was here were strange
he played out on the street for change
and all the folks he’d entertained
over the years would laugh and scorn

i heard he took the songs he had
and headed out for good or bad
to the desert proud and sad
to make the stand he had to make
against the phonies and the bums
who never offered more than crumbs
and everything that didn’t come
to terms with what he couldn’t fake

and what he found was just a dawn
that wasn’t right and wasn’t wrong
but simply put did not belong
beside the setting of his sun
