Brandon & The Outpost Band

Lyrics

Johnathan get your books your gonna be late for school

I'm comin momma there's just one more thing I have to do                

He reached up under the bed and got some cash

and stuck it in his boot

Said goodbye to his momma, the boy had things to do 

 

Johnny come lately

walks to a different beat

I'm Johnny come lately

I wear the shoes right off of my feet

I'm Johnny come lately

I think to a different track

I'm Johnny come lately

But I'll be coming back

 

2 years later Johnny's still walkin

He's out on the flats

runs across the chief they have a conversation

and the adventure just seems to last

from a watering hole deep in the nation

Johnny pours out his plan

chief said "that's the heritage trail,

John and you'll be back again"

 

You’re Johnny come lately

you walk to a different beat

I'm Johnny come lately

I might see your ass out on the beach

I'm Johnny come lately

I march to a different drum

I'm Johnny come lately

and I never learned to run

 

Johnny's on Wall Street feelin everybody's pain                 

we know that you've been knocked down                 

but your gonna get up again                 

now he's off to Austin and he finds some young band playing live

he love's the energy and the magic in their eyes

 

Johnny hears the desert crying                   

as he walks up the great divide                   

he calls out to the universe                    

may I speak my mind                   

father may I borrow the tears of time

to awaken the sleeping garden                   

and the heavens opened up to a symphony of rain

and ol' Johnny just kept smilin
