Johnny never cared 'bout nobody
Cause no-one ever cared bout John
He's crawled his way this far through life
He's the original wayward son
He took himself to the wild blue yonder
To see what he could find
Now he's the king of the dusty jungle
And he's got peace of mind
Don't need no money in his new world
He's financially indisposed
He's spends his life lining rich men's pockets
Making candy for the nose
Tired of watching a TV. tube
Tired of civilised days
So he took his guitar into paradise
Mother natures way..
Livin it up
Kicking up dust
Making his life his own way
He was
Livin it up
Down in dirt
He's got enough
Just cutting it rough
Kicking up dust
So wild and free in the country
But all John got was rain
And the city looked pretty in the moonlight
And it seemed to call his name
So he brushed the dirt from his blue jeans
Picked himself up off the floor
Thinks he'll leave the tree's to the monkeys
He don't need that anymore
Livin it up
Kicking up dust
Making his life his own way
He was
Livin it up
Down in dirt
He's got enough
Just cutting it rough
Kicking up dust
Solo
Johnny never cared 'bout nobody
Cause no-one ever cared bout John
He's crawled his way this far through life
He's the original wayward son
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah etc.
Livin it up
Kicking up dust
Making his life his own way
He was
Livin it up
Down in dirt
He's got enough
Just cutting it rough
Kicking up dust
Johnny never cared bout
Nothing at all
Cause no-one ever cared bout John
