"Why Johnny" lyrics

Hey, if I could I'd sit you down
Buy you a drink and ask you how
You got a cowboy ridin'
To slow on down and walk the line and
I'd wanna hear it from the start
How many times did he break your heart?
From what I'm reading
Why didn't you leave him

When he came home late on booze and pills
Lyin' through that perfume smell
Coming off his shirt?
What made you wanna make it work?
Did you always know he'd come around
Change his ways and settle down?
Did your friends call you crazy too?
It'd sure help if I knew
Hey June, why Johnny?

Did you know deep down inside your bones
He'd be yours and yours alone?
Or were you just hoping?
And how did you keep hoping?
I think I've got a Johnny of my own. But will he change?
Hell if I know
Yes, I'm just hoping, but how do I keep hoping

When he comes home late on booze and pills?
Lyin' through that perfume smell
Coming off his shirt
What made you wanna make it work?
Did you always know he'd come around
Change his ways and settle down?
Did your friends call you crazy too?
It'd sure help if I knew.
Hey June, why Johnny?

Why Johnny? And how June
Did you make him realize it was always you?
Did you ever wanna find somebody new?

When he came home late on booze and pills
Lyin' through that perfume smell
Coming off his shirt
What made you wanna make it work?
Did you always know he'd come around
Change his ways and settle down?
Did your friends call you crazy too?
Bet you could've had anyone you wanted to

So, hey, June, why Johnny?

Why Johnny? How, June?
