Sentimental Johnny

I'm goin' back to sentimental Johnny 'Cause sentimental Johnny is your man Sunshine or rain, the man's on his game The chairman of the boards He said, "Jesus, he walks on water Not like us, he must have been sober Marching away on top of his lake The Savior of all souls" Leave me to die in the wreckage As soon as it burns, I'll be gone I'm goin' back to sentimental Johnny To take in all I can, to take in all I can Once more Well, it was back in good ol' 57 When Johnny met Elvis in Memphis Rockin' on sun where it all begun A story yet to end And by this time, we're drinkin' up the fever And in me, he has a true believer If only I could, just for one word To live it all again Leave me to die in the wreckage As soon as it burns, I'll be gone I'm goin' back to sentimental Johnny To take in all I can, to take in all I can Rio, why don't you meet me down in Rio again Down in Rio, the carnival, it never ends Down in Rio, we'll find a perfect world in Rio again Down in Rio, where the women still love their men Well Johnny, it's two in the mornin' Don't you think, it's time we should go Back to our millions of records we love Back to our sad little homes That was the last time I saw him Never, no, never, no more I wonder did Jesus come to redeem him Save poor Johnny's ol' soul I wonder did Jesus come to redeem him Save poor Johnny's ol' soul Leave me to die in the wreckage As soon as it burns, I'll be gone I'm goin' back to sentimental Johnny To take in all I can, to take in all I can To take in all I can Once more
