Sentimental Johnny Lyrics

    I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny
    Cause Sentimental Johnny is your man
    Sunshine or rain, the man's on his game
    The Chairman of the boards
    He said Jesus, he walks on water
    Not like us, he must have been sober
    Marching away, on top of his lake
    The Savior of all souls

    Leave me to die in the wreckage
    As soon as it burns, I'll be gone
    I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)
    To take in all I can (once more!)
    To take in all I can (once more!)

    Well it was back in good ol' 57
    When Johnny met Elvis in Memphis
    Rockin' on sun
    Where it all begun
    A story yet to end
    And by this time, we're drinkin' up a fever
    And in me, he has a true believer
    If only I could, just for one word
    To live it all again

    Leave me to die in the wreckage
    As soon as it burns, I'll be gone
    I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)
    To take in all I can (once more!)
    To take in all I can (once more!)

    Rio, why don't you meet me down in Rio: again
    Down in Rio, the carnival it never ends
    Down in Rio, we'll find a perfect world in Rio: again
    Down in Rio, where the women still love their men

    Well Johnny, it's two in the mornin'
    Don't you think, it's time we should go
    Back to our millions of records we love
    Back to our sad little homes
    That was the last time I saw him
    Never, no never no more
    I wonder did Jesus, came to redeem him
    Save poor Johnny's ol' soul
    I wonder did Jesus, come to redeem him
    Save poor Johnny's ol' soul

    Leave me to die in the wreckage
    As soon as it burns, I'll be gone
    I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)
    To take in all I can (once more!)
    To take in all I can (once more!)
