Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was a young boy, I thought I had that touch
I wanted to play that guitar so much
Now I'm a man and I got me, whoa
Now I'm a playin', playin' son of a gun
[Verse 2]
They call me Johnny Guitar
They call me Johnny Guitar
They call me Johnny Guitar
I'm gonna play in your town
[Verse 3]
Gonna play some blues, gonna play some rock 'n' roll
And try to upset all the pretty girls so
Gonna play some slow and play some fast
Gonna have a ball as long as it lasts
[Verse 4]
They call me Johnny Guitar
They call me Johnny Guitar
They call me Johnny Guitar
I'm gonna play in your town
[Verse 5]
You can get a girl and hold her close to you
But you better get her before I do
We're gonna have some fun before we're through
I'm playin' my guitar especially just for you
[Verse 6]
They call me Johnny Guitar
They call me Johnny Guitar
They call me Johnny Guitar
I'm comin' to play in your town
[Verse 7]
They call me Johnny Guitar
Yeah, they call me Johnny Guitar
They call me Johnny Guitar
I'm comin' to play in your town
