1) Johnny was a man from a good town south of omaha
He lived his dreams and raised a family
But he could not see the way you see, all the people and the freaks
Were on the empty pages in his mind
2) Johnnys daddy died in the big war
They never found his body to this day
It was on that beach in Normandy, Johnny hoped he’d never see
His daddy washed away to an early grave
Chorus —
Where were you then
I’m on that street again
Wishing I could fly away forever
