Young Johnny he really had a way he did his homework on the schoolbus and always got an A and the girls like Johnny more than anyone except maybe Elton John later on in high school he couldn't keep his red suspenders on oh where's Johnny has he gone away oh where's Johnny will he back back someday He had a room full of trophies from the track meets and tennis games he'd win he was a full blown whiz kid bound to be a Renaissance man then he went on off to college got his head stuck in a different state of mind when they asked him was it alcohol he told 'em it was nothin' of the kind just life just life Mom oh where's Johnny has he gone away oh where's Johnny will he back back someday but Johnny's alright he just turned out his lights they'd have paid it no mind had he not been so bright he opened up his eyes and snapped out in a groove he saw both sides of everthing and found he could not move Johnny moved back home now he reads a lot of poetry and plays he'll sit out in the backyard and not say a word to anyone for days and his folks gave up they no longer even bother gettin' through he's 30 odd years old I guess they figured there's just so much you can do his mother keeps his pictures in the scrapbook in the drawer with her pearls and she polishes the trophies that he won back when they thought he'd save the world back when the girls liked Johnny more than anyone except maybe Elton John she wonders wheres her little boy with the braces and the red suspenders gone just life just life Mom just life just life...
