Lookin' back I'd say we broke a few rules, left one or two hearts in ruin

Spent all that precious time doin'

Things we figured that Presley might have done



Stole a few cars, never got caught, we started some fights in the scrimmage

We got caught up in the image of playing young rebels by the handbook



Lookin' back I guess we had some attitude, we were gonna be hard and tough



Me and Johnny, we're gonna play tonight, it's gonna be alright

We're gonna shine



Look in the mirror, watch our faces change, we were gonna be McCartney clones

We skipped school to see the Rolling Stones

And sang their songs on the train on our way home



We were gonna be like all of them, uncompromising to the very end

Live for girls, guitars and glory, and someday they'd write our story



Sometimes I think that they clapped in sympathy

But we were gonna be hard and tough



Chorus:

Me and Johnny, we're gonna play tonight

It's gonna be alright, we're gonna have some fun tonight

Me and Johnny, we may get blood on our face

We're gonna have our place in the sun



Johnny's still livin' back in Australia

I hear he's got himself a wife and kids

And I'm still chasin' whatever it is

That put me out here on the road in the first place



I think of all the times I've cursed out loud

Wishin' I was still runnin' with the same old crowd

Sometimes it can make you cry, just watchin' the years roll by



Me and Johnny, we're gonna play tonight, it's gonna be alright

We're gonna shine



chorus repeats out
