[Verse 1]
What's the use of moving on?
Maybe here's where I belong
I've had my fill of life's uncertainty
[Verse 2]
You think too much, they say you're strange
They even raised the drinking age
This place has gone to hell since I've been away
[Pre-Chorus]
But now this time I'll do it right
Oh, fuckin' yeah, let's start tonight
Make the call and see who's still around
[Chorus]
Don't look now, but Johnny's back again
I am your man
I paid the price, I'll take that slide again
Nothing stays the same
[Verse 3]
Tell the boys to step aside
Tell the girls to form a line
The king is back to claim the land again
[Verse 4]
Wanna fight? Let's get it on
Need to love, I am the one
Time to remember how we played the game
[Pre-Chorus]
But now this time we'll do it right
Oh, fuckin' yeah, let's go tonight
What the hell, what have you got to lose?!
[Chorus]
Don't look now, but Johnny's back again
I am your man
I paid the price, I'll take that slide again
Nothing stays the same
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
Tell the boys to jump inside
Yeah, tonight we're gonna ride
It's time to show 'em how it's really done
[Verse 6]
You never play - you never win
You don't even know what's happening
Until the end and then your race is run
[Pre-Chorus]
But now this time we'll do it right
Oh, fuckin' yeah, let's go tonight
Make the call and see who's still around
[Chorus]
Don't look now, but Johnny's back again
I am your man
I paid the price, I'll take that slide again
Nothing stays the same
[Chorus]
Don't look now, but Johnny's back again
I am your man
I paid the price, I'll take that slide again
Nothing stays the same forever more, yeah!
[Outro]
Oh, Johnny's back again, yea-yeah!
