Johnny’s Gone

[Verse 1]
Nothing's on the level
On the Reeperbahn
Walking with the devil
With the blue dress on
All the boys in the band are gone
Gone to score

[Refrain]
Oh, and Johnny's gone for a soldier
In the rock and roll wars

[Verse 2]
Crying the blues
She runs for cover
Trying to choose
'Tween husband and lover
And I am nothing but a one-night stand-in
On the dance floor

[Refrain]
Oh, and Johnny's gone for a soldier
In the rock and roll wars

[Verse 3]
In each town
You go down to howls
The bell sounds; in what round
Do you throw in the towel?
The only bright lights you have found
Are on the exit doors

[Refrain]
Oh, and Johnny's gone for a soldier
In the rock and roll wars

[Verse 4]
Somewhere in the distance
A child turns four
Crying for assistance
His daddy is out the door
At what price is this fortune and fame
Worth no more?

[Refrain]
Oh, and Johnny's gone for a soldier
In the rock and roll wars

[Outro]
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
Devil with the blue dress on
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
Devil with the blue dress on
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
Devil with the blue dress on
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
Devil with the blue dress on
Devil with the blue dress
