Johnny Go Riding

Johnny let's go out riding

to a place outside of town

I go there every Sunday

To watch the sun go down

There's plenty of girls who know you

They've been asking where you've been

Johnny don't disappoint them

They'd all like to you see you away again

Willy, I don't think I'm ready

To leave this house of mine

You go out and tell them

I'm not the social kind

Some men they are lovers

And others the fighting type

Me, I'm in the middle of

Choosing which one I'd like to be

Judy, she's out catching

Rides in passing cars

The memories of me and her

Have burned out like the stars

But me, I'm not disappointed

In knowing that she's free

Someday down the line

I knew she'd one day up and leave

Willy, forget you're troubles

And lay back on the grass

There's no need to get nostalgic

Thinking about the past

What's gone is gone, what's here is now

She standing by a fence

She's wearing a beautiful party dress

And wanting you to dance
