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
