Lyrics:

Friday night
She was standin' by the bar,
She was lookin' alright, yeah

I asked if she wanted to dance
And she said all she wanted was a good man
I drink alone, yeah
With nobody else
I drink alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself

Now
comes a time when she's got to ask herself, steady or not? I mean)
Is she ready to be going steady? (Do you really want to be Johnny's steady?)
Don't
the dead of night
Leave a whiskey behind or you'll feel his fright
For Johnny Ringo's spirit they say won't be tamed
Without that drink he'll haunt you by
was  so  cute
People  were  so  shining
Keats  and  Yeats,  they  were  by  your  side!  
Oh,  please  please  gonna  be  high

Johnny's  in
Oh, Johnny was a tall man but his memory was short
He'd forget to duck at doorways and often he'd get hurt
I took good care of him for he had no
with the homies
On the block 
Where niggas be wild'n and wild'n   
And on the way home he got stopped by the siren

Johnny got slammed to the ground
Just
by our own hand
A dead nation under one dead god
What is evil, but good
Tortured by it's own hunger and thirst?
daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy.
A-be-by-bick-you-by-go-go-go-yeah
and I first met
I thought I was cool
Living by the rules
Trying to play hard to get.

So you found some good-time guy
To give you the love you
the kitchen
"Johnny, don't be late!"
So Johnny rolled out of bed at a quarter to eight
Went to the kitchen
Ate the breakfast that his momma made
Finished his
passing by
She complained and then she cried
She cried

Oh, oh, Lord (Johnny was a good man)
Can the woman turn to care, she cried (never did a thing
the reason why we're so fucked
'Cause by the time it's over, won't make the slightest difference
(Hello darkness, my old friend)

And I don't wanna be
Droppin' back the top, I got the world on my shoulder
Over and over, gotta pour up, gotta roll up
Gotta cover up my war wounds, no time to be sober
of Bakersfield

There ain't no country music for old men
All of the good ones have died or just packed it in
Now there's posers and losers and would-be outlaws
Father

Well, it looked so good to see us together
But I had to look after Dad
Oh, no, Mama, when I passed by your coffin
I didn't want to remember you
at a dead end,
Sweatin' and breathin' for room
You never crawl before you walk
You gotta take the bad with the good

But it's your first time around,
be dead” 
But instead of being grateful Terry smiled and said:         
A miss by an inch is as good as a mile
A miss by an inch is as good as a mile
here he comes again
Meow said the kitty puppy bow wow wow
Go get your guitar Johnny don't stop now oh baby

Backed up by a jazz band layin´ on the wood
I want him, and I need him, 
And someday someway woo I'll meet him 
He'll be kind of shy, and real good lookin' too 
And I'll be certain he's my
I want him, and I need him, 
And someday someway woo I'll meet him 
He'll be kind of shy, and real good lookin' too 
And I'll be certain he's my
with dirt.

"It must be dead," I said to her,
as I turned to leave.
"No, it's alive," she cried. "Just before you got here,
I swear, I saw it
we be havin' good hearts
They just be in bad places
I guess that's life, though

Father God, forgive me for my sins
Take the mask off all my
, yeah

It feels so good
So good
To be loved by you
It’s the sort of thing you go to bed and start dreaming about
And hope it might come true
Then I wake
