Johnny Says

if johnny says that heaven exists
then that's good enough for me
as we sit upon the fresh green grass
underneath the joshua tree

if johnny says look to the sky
and see the word i know
jesus light will shine upon you
like the morning glow

if johnny says,
then i believe
if johnny says
then i'll take heed
if johnny says
i'll walk that road
if johnny says
i'll bear that load
if johnny says

sittin' up in heaven smokin' big cigars
drinkin' whisky in an an old box car
jesus and johnny, hanging out like good mates
doin' lines, crackin' jokes, gettin' on the chase

if johnny says
then i believe
if johnny says
then i'll take heed
if johnny says
i'll walk that road
if johnny says
i'll bear that load
if johnny says

took a ride down old man river
five feet high and risin
finally built that cadillac
that i've had my eyes on

i've walked the line in folsom prison
and san quentin too
i am the man in black
i am the boy named sue

if johnny says
then i believe
if johnny says
then i'll take heed
if johnny says
i'll walk that road
if johnny says
i'll bear that load
if johnny says

i'll walk that road
if johnny says.
