No More Named Johnny



No more named Johnny

Ive been broken too much before

The girls are on display in the window

And the boys are in the freezer room



Ive been crushed by too many Johnnys

And I never want to hear that name

Theres a fist full of flowers in the window

That you gave me when I got off the plane



Youve been chasing me

Falling down those spring fed wells

Before farewells

Oh those fond farewells

Oh they get us every time



No more named Johnny

Ive been standing in the rain since June

I wound up my watch till I broke the springs

Now Ill never have the time for you



Youre a cold and lonely Johnny

Do you ever drive an ice cream truck

Off the highway to a clear cut track

To that dirty place where we got stuck?



You can be sure Ill never whisper that word
