Johnny is a man

And he's bigger than you

But his overheads are high

And he looks straight through when you ask him how the kids are



He'll get home around seven

'Cause the chevy's real old

And he could have had a cadillac

If the school had taught him right

And he could have married Anne with the blue silk

blouse

He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse



And the food is on the table

But the food is cold

Don't hit her



"Can't you even cook?

What's the good of me working when you can't damn cook?"



Well Johnny is a man

And he's bigger than her

I guess the bruises won't show

If she wears long sleeves

But the space in her eyes shows through



And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

Shows through

Shows through

Shows through
