Jonny Was Lyrics

Jonny Was, a street walker



He travels light

I say Ooh, you should've seen him

Walked right past ya

You could not believe it

Lyin' on the street corner wearin' next to nothin'

Yet he sports a smile



And all the times

You bow your head and look away

You cross the street, yeah, just to get away

He can't help but feel ashamed cuz

He has got no where to go now



Jonny Was, a street walker, Ooooooh



He moves around

To a new location

Town to town

To find his next vacation

In his ripped up jeans and t-shirt

Pack of smokes on the side



How about a dime

To help him get a bus ride

Maybe a dollar

To help him stay the night

Anywhere but on the cold streets

Not in an alley or the cops beat



Jonny Was

Yeah Jonny Was

Jonny Was a street walker, Ooooooh
