lyrics

My best friend, Johnny on the spot
Every night at 5 o’clock he’s at my back door
He don’t ask for things that I don’t got
Just a glass with a few rocks and nice long pour

Oh I got other friends who would take me in their arms
No I won’t go there unless Johnny comes along

All day long I chip away at rocks
Push the big ones up the hill for the boss to see
After lunch I chip away the hours
Till I can sit back down with Johnny

Oh I got other thoughts that could write a different song
No I won’t go there unless Johnny comes along

Oh I know peace lives far down a road of righted wrongs
No I won’t go there unless Johnny comes along

My best friend, Johnny on the spot
Every night at 5 o’clock he’s at my back door
He don’t ask for things that I don’t got
Just a glass with a few rocks and nice long pour

Oh I got other friends who would take me in their arms
No I won’t go there unless Johnny comes along
Unless Johnny comes along, unless Johnny comes along
