Johnny Run Away

Johnny was a young boy, he liked playing at the park

And Johnny said, "Oh-oh, dad, can you take me now?"

Johnny was young, never hurt no one, too early for that

He was at the park, he met a boy named Jimmy

He's a cutie, and he chose him

Oh take my, take my soul

Share my crayons, share my goals

His daddy walked by with a sigh

Said, "Johnny, sit by my side

I'm gonna give you the best advice

You've ever heard in your life

See that boy named Jimmy, yeah

He's a cutie, but no, no, Johnny

No, no, no, ah, ah, oh"

Johnny, run away

Run away, now Johnny

Now, Johnny, run away

Run away, now Johnny

Now, oh, you'll get picked on by another

Better go and run for cover

Yeah, Johnny, run away

Run away, now Johnny

Now, Johnny, run away

Run away, now Johnny

Now, oh, you'll get picked on by another

Better go and run for cover

Johnny started high school at the front of the bus

Some boys yelled, "Oh-oh, man, come sit with us"

Johnny found a seat with a boy named Pete

And felt it again, as he was trying to play pretend

The feelings came rushing in, and he thought

Johnny, run away

Run away, now Johnny

Now, Johnny, run away

Run away, now Johnny

Now, oh, you'll get picked on by another

Better go and run for cover

Yeah, Johnny, run away

Run away, now Johnny

Now, Johnny, run away

Run away, now Johnny

Now, oh, you'll get picked on by another

Better go and run for cover

And I don't wanna talk about the trap, I dream big

Real big, since I've been on daddy's lap

Got my dreams by my side

Keep 'em in my pocket so that when I get the chance

I can rip it out and rock it

It's like my golden ticket, it's the reason that I'm here

Everybody has a dream, they're frozen by fear

We won't dance in the rain, we go and run for cover

All there is to blame is getting picked on by another

So we go and find someone that will love and support us

Says they adore us, maybe fought for us

Then we forget about ambitions and decisions will change

I think that I was only seven when

Oh, Johnny, run away

Run away, now Johnny

Now, Johnny, run away

Run away, now Johnny

Now, oh, you'll get picked on by another

Better go and run for cover

Yeah, Johnny, run away

Run away, now Johnny

Now, Johnny, run away

Run away, now Johnny

Now, oh, you'll get picked on by another

Better go and run for cover

Johnny, run away

Run away, now Johnny

No, getting picked on by another

Better go and run for cover

No, no, no, no

Johnny, run away

Run away, now Johnny

No, getting picked on by another

Better go and run for cover

No, no, no, no
