Widespread Panic Papa Johnny Road lyrics

Down poppie Johnny road
Nobody hears your name
Life that I was lovin'
Like stealin' a ride on a train
Wanna steal a ride on a train

Crawlin' in the dirt all night
I guess this is a place
Newborns lashed to a dead oak tree
They settle deeper in the rain
Oh settle deeper in the rain

Hold me tight, flyin' through the air
Hold on strong and we're almost there
Laugh so hard, the devil gets scared
I got a real good mind to beat you senseless

Best to count your blessing child
The sun's not too hot today
Like to get to church before
Oh, before this old jacket fades
Oh take us right to the shade

That's the end of poppie Johnny road
Old blind that cures your misery
Give her five dollars, boy
Oh, and a reason to believe
A reason to believe

Hold me tight, flyin' through the air

Coal yards callin', we're almost there
Laugh so hard and the devil's all scared
I got a real good mind to beat you senseless

Down poppie Johnny road
Nobody hears your name
The life that I love
Like stealin' a ride on a train
Oh, steal a ride on a train

At the end of poppie Johnny road
Old blind that cures your misery
Just get five dollars there
And a reason to believe
Oh a reason to believe

Hold me tight, flyin' through the air
Coal yards callin', we're almost there
Laughed so hard and the devil gets scared
I got a real good mind to beat you senseless

I got a real good mind
Senseless
I got a real good mind
Senseless
I got a real good mind
