Lyrics for Johnny Come Lately by Steve Earle:
| | | Artist: | Steve Earle |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Johnny Come Lately | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 60 | | | | Lyrics: | I'm an American, boys, and I've come a long way
I was born and bred in the USA
So listen
up close, I've get something to say
Boys, I'm buying this round
Well it took a Iittke
while but we're in this fight
And we ain't going home 'til we've done what's right
We're
gonna drink Camden Town dry tonight
If I have to spend my last pound
When I first got
to London it was pourin' down rain
Met a Iittle girl in the field canteen
Painted her name
on the nose of my plane
Six more missions I'm gene
Well I asked if I could stay and she
said that I might
Then the warden came around yelling ";turn out the lights";
Death
rainin' out of the London night
We made love 'til dawn
But when Johnny Come Lately
comes marching home
With a chest full of medals and a G.l. loan
They'll be waitin' at the
station down in San Antone
When Johnny comes marching home
MY P-47 is a pretty good
ship
And she took a round coming cross the Channel last trip
I was thinking 'bout my baby
and letting her rip
Always got me through so far
Well they can ship me all over this great
big world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking her home whh me
one day, sir
Soon as we win this war
Now my granddaddy sang me this song
Told me
about Londen when the Blitz was on
How he married Grandma and brought her back home
A hero
throughout his land
Now I'm standing on a runway in San Diego
A couple Purple Hearts and I
move a little slow
There's nobody here, maybe nobody knows
About a place called Vietnam | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
