Well Johnny made his living out of selling cars. He was spending all his money at the local bars. He’s gotta get out of this town. Mary was the girl that held his fancy. She talked like him but looked like Nancy. I can’t imagine just what he found.
He said, “Used to spend all my days just waiting for that midnight train. Just to take me anywhere the same. I’m not sure where to go, what I might find or who I know. All I want is for you to come along.
I hopped aboard a rail-way car, as a stow-away I didn’t get far. Sheriff come and drag me by my feet. Don’t stop to look at me ‘cuz I’m a haunted man, can’t you see. All I needed was a plan.
Well I’m sure that’s it’s been said, you can’t change the world behind a cigarette. But it might just be a place to start. Come on girl and grab my hand we’ll shake it up to wonderland. All I wanted was to be with you.
We can go and start a band. Travel the world playing for our fans. It’s only failure if you don’t try. And after all’s been said been said and done, baby get some kicks and maybe have some fun. All I wanted was to be with you.
Come on girl just a little a while. You can take my pain and make me smile. I promise I’ll do the same for you. For in the end it’s the people you meet and the chances you take. And it makes it all all worthwhile. Yeah it’s you that makes it all worthwhile.
