Johnny's Gone

Johnny's Gone

Johnny's gone
close that guitar case.

He was a long legged guitar pickin' man
who made us see God and pain
love and longing
all in a song's refrain.

Johnny's gone
His music you can't replace.

He was the man in black
to my mom and grandma too,
fifty years worth of songs
sung for me and you.

Johnny's gone
his music you can't replace.

Johnny is gone
and June is too,
let's say a prayer
that the music stays in you.

Johnny's gone
close that guitar case.
Johnny's gone
his music you can't replace.
