Songtexte Johnny Bye Bye (Live at Wembley Stadium, London, UK - 06/05/81) - Bruce Springsteen
(Johnny, this is for you)
Well, she drew out all her money from the southern trust
And she put her little boy on the greyhound bus
Leaving Memphis with a guitar in his hand
On a one-way ticket to the promised land
Hey, little girly with the red dress on
There's party, tonight, down in Memphis town
I'll be going down there if you need a ride
C'mom, c'mon let's go tonight
How many have fallen with a dream denied
Now, tell me baby are you lonesome tonight?
'Cause a man on the radio says Elvis Presley died
Come on, come on, let's go tonight
Down in the city night the sky is hard and black
Come up over the ridge one long white Cadillac
They stand on the roadside waiting the hit
Round together forever a promise in his sleeve
Well they found them slumped up against the drain
With a whole lot of nothing running through his veins
Well, bye, bye Johnny, oh Johnny bye, bye
You didn't have to die, you didn't have to die.
