Johnny Lyrics

    Oh johnny
    Do you miss your mother
    Do you miss your father
    Oh an johnny, do you miss me
    Oh and i was so hungry
    I just wanted to attack
    And i was so hungry
    And that mean i'll never look back
    Oh johnny
    Sometimes i wonder
    Sometimes i wonder
    And i
    And i wonder
    What it's like to die
    No yah see i could'da been a star
    I could'da been a whip
    I tell y'a somethin' else right now
    We could'da been
    Sailing along on our ship
    Is this ring that he wore
    It's just another thing that he wore
    But there's something about this ring i just can't ignore
    So i keep it though i don't no were it's from
    Oh johnny
    Do you miss all the old the old ladys
    Do you miss all of the crazys
    Oh an johnny, do you miss me
    Oh johnny
    Do you miss your mother
    Do you miss your father
    Oh johnny there's something that i'd like to know
    And i, and i
    Could you tell me john,
    Could you tell me what it's like to die
