I remember Johnny Lee
With a six string
On his bag

Dreaming songs
And singing out of tune
Yes, he thought that was the way

She came down like an arrow from the sky
Thunder and lightning
Nothing left to say

Johnny Lee, Johnny Lee
You left the harbor on a stormy night
Johnny Lee, Johnny Lee
There ain’t no lighthouse
On the dark of your night

I still hear you
Laughing like a child
Echoing in the alley

At the crossroads
You went on the other side
She left you lonely
And took the other train

You went down, down, down deeper into hell
We saw you struggling to survive

Yes, I saw you
Yesterday
Same old dreams
Through the same guitar

Johnny Lee, Johnny Lee
It’s up to you
To light up your life
