"Thank You Johnny And June" lyrics

I was six years old that September
Rain was pouring down out in Portland Oregon
Me and my sister sharing the backseat
Riding in my grandparents Datsun B210
I'm going to Jackson coming out the 8 track
I ain't been the same since

Thank you Johnny and June
For lighting the way for me
Thank you for the songs that you gave me
The ones that I still sing
I am who I am 'cause of you
Thank you Johnny and June

I remember my first show from the back row
Every word you sang it pulled me closer to that stage
I remember pearl snap black red dress with rhinestones
Hearing Grandma saying that I'll be up there someday
I know she's looking down goin' on and on how shes so proud
Shes probably with you now

Saying thank you Johnny and June
For lighting the way for me
Thank you for the songs that you gave me
The ones that I still sing
I am who I am 'cause of you
Thank you Johnny and June
Thank you Johnny and June

Now when I'm on this stage
Looking at a young girls face
Singing my songs right back to me

I'm saying thank you Johnny and June
For lighting the way for me
Thank you for the songs that you gave me
The ones that I still sing
I am who I am 'cause of you
Thank you Johnny and June
Thank you Johnny and June
