June fell for |
|
Johnny on the |
|
Fourth of |
|
JulyAs the fireworks popped in the summer sky |
|
With a spark in her eye she just sat there and stared |
|
As his face lit up to the rocket's red glare |
|
And by September she'd asked him for a wedding band |
|
How could she know he was a ramblin' man? |
|
He walked out the door in the dead of the night |
|
And a sleepy voice whispered as he turned out the light |
|
She said,"Where you gonna go?What you gonna do when you get there?Who you gonna callWhen your road runs out at the sea?""Oh, you're never gonna find someoneWho loves you like I doIf you get tired of runnin'You can turn around and walk back to me" |
|
He called her up to say he missed her a lot |
|
Texas Panhandle was as far as he'd got |
|
He'd run out of money, he'd run out of luck |
|
He'd run out of gas in his pick up truck"Hitch a ride, catch a train or a Greyhound bus'Cause there's a baby on the way and that makes three of usAnd I need you here beside me, I can't go it alone" |
|
She told him one more time then she hung up the phone |
|
Saying, "Where you gonna go?What you gonna do when you get there?Who you gonna callWhen your road runs out at the sea?""You know, you're never gonna find someoneWho loves you like I doWhen you get tired of runnin'You can turn around and walk back to me" |
|
And the years just seemed to roll on by them |
|
She missed him more and more every day |
|
And that boy grew up to look and act just like him |
|
And she knew some day soon he'd be old enough to fly away |
|
And she'd say, "Baby, where you gonna go?What you gonna do when you get there?Who you gonna callWhen your road runs out at the sea?""You know, you're never gonna find someoneWho loves you like I doWhen you get tired of runnin'You can turn around and walk back to meIf you ever get tired of runnin'You can turn around and walk back to me" |
