Song Lyrics

And in 67 johnny joined the corps, folks say he s a hero
And tonight in this barroom he s easin his pain, but he won t say the name Dave, but he won t say the name
folks say he s a hero
he left a hero in the jungle back in 1968
He left a hero in the jungle back in 1968, he left a hero in the jungle back in 1968, folks say he s a hero he ll tell you ain t

But he won t say the name, now thirty years come and thirty years go, johnny gave joe his first cigarette
But he won t say the name, folks say he s a hero he ll tell you ain t Alvin, and tina divorced him back in 83
But he won t say the name, two blonde-haired sisters from covington
but when he asks about someone they used to know
But he won t say the name, but he won t say the name, folks say he s a hero

And tonight in this barroom he s easin his pain, and joe bought all the gas in johnny s old ford
Two blonde-haired sisters from covington, two blonde-haired sisters from covington, but he won t say the name
but when he asks about someone they used to know
And tonight in this barroom he s easin his pain, and tonight in this barroom he s easin his pain
and joe lit the filter and then he smoked the whole pack

Tonight in this barroom he s easin his pain, and tonight in this barroom he s easin his pain
He s thinkin of someone, and johnny s got a grandkid that he barely knows
and talks about her children and her third husband
johnny gave joe his first cigarette
johnny went from job to job tryin to make ends meet

And joe bought all the gas in johnny s old ford, he always said that s what friends were for, and joe lit the filter and then he smoked the whole pack
But when he asks about someone they used to know, johnny gave joe his first cigarette Alvin, he always said that s what friends were for
But he ll tell you he ain t, when johnny married tina 1968, and johnny s got a grandkid that he barely knows
And in 67 johnny joined the corps, when johnny married tina 1968, folks say he s a hero he ll tell you ain t
But he ll tell you he ain t, and johnny s got a grandkid that he barely knows

But he won t say the name, he left a hero in the jungle back in 1968
he s thinkin of someone
but he won t say the name
he s thinkin of someone
He left a hero in the jungle back in 1968, tonight in this barroom he s easin his pain, folks say he s a hero

Johnny went from job to job tryin to make ends meet, he left a hero in the jungle back in 1968
but he won t say the name
two blonde-haired sisters from covington
folks say he s a hero
He s thinkin of someone, and joe lit the filter and then he smoked the whole pack 1968, but he never knew what for

he always said that s what friends were for
and tonight in this barroom he s easin his pain
two blonde-haired sisters from covington
He s thinkin of someone, and in 67 johnny joined the corps
But when he asks about someone they used to know, but when he asks about someone they used to know

but he ll tell you he ain t
But he ll tell you he ain t, but he ll tell you he ain t
