John's Song

I had a friend in the trade

cnd he spent his time long distance

Driving all over the land

cnd his papa said John

You've gotta do better

You've gotta do better than that

If you're gonna get up

If you're gonna get by

Doing what you wanna do

So he hid himself away

cnd he came back with a band and he was playing

cnd taking it out on the town

cnd the boys said John

We gotta do better

We're gonna do better than that

We're going long distance

Driving all over the land

So the days turned into months

(Turned into years)

cnd they made their reputation

But they lost him on the way

cnd the highway

Takes its toll

cnd the bridges

Take their toll

cnd the highway

Takes its toll

cnd the bridges

Take their toll

cnd they all said John

You couldn't do better

You couldn't do better than that

If you're gonna get on

You made it by

Doing what you wanted to do

You couldn't do better

You couldn't do better than that

If you're gonna get on

You made it by

Doing what you wanted to do

cnd they all said John

You couldn't do better

You couldn't do better than that

If you're gonna get on

You made it by

Doing what you wanted to do

You couldn't do better

You couldn't do better than that

If you're gonna get on
