Well there's old Johnny Johnson in Europe And in combat regalia he's decked With all the vigor that a young man could stir up And all the recklessness one might expect From a bucking young Lieutenant Colonel On his virgin adventure abroad With the faith that his youth was eternal And his destiny guarded by God Just the way that the uniform fit him Was like some kind of magical shield No enemy would hit him And he'd die upon no battlefield Yeah, there's old Johnny Johnson in Europe Defending us from the Third Reich But these old photographs tend to blur up And the image becomes shadow-like Like a balding man's hairline Like a tidal wave swelling Like a hurricane's ravenous blow Everything reaches its level of greatness And back it must, back it must go In a box of momentos I'm given Underneath where the silverfish thrive In the trunk of a car scarcely driven Which was parked on a pea-gravel drive Right alongside a most modest dwelling That was even more modest inside That his children intended on selling Now that their father had died In a city on bankruptcy's border Whose residents relish the time When coffee was only a quarter And cigarettes cost but a dime There's a picture of a man badly needed For his country, gun fearlessly carried But then old Johnny Johnson receded Just like the town where is body is buried. Like a balding man's hairline Like a tidal wave swelling Like a hurricane's ravenous blow Everything reaches its level of greatness And back it must, back it must go
