The all American boy (whatever happened to Johnny)
A true story that almost happened.
Singer/Songwriter
I'm a singer/songwriter.
Story behind the song
A song I wrote about where I'd been and where I was headed.
Lyrics
ALL AMERICAN BOY
J. Michael Tracy male/uptempo
Short cut hair and a baseball cap
A red Swiss knife and a treasure map
A big brown dog and and purple bike
Watchin’ the river from the top of the dike
He played short-stop in little league
Built a rickety fort up in the maple tree
Beetles and toads were his favorite toys
He was, The All American Boy
What ever happened to Johnny
Did he loose his mind
Searchin’ for the simple life
He could not seem to find
He disappeared one afternoon
Cause life had lost all it’s joy
Whatever happened to Johnny
The All American Boy
Someone said that he’d been seen
Up in the mountains in a fishin’ stream
Pocket full of lures and a feather light rod
Talkin’ to Nature, talkin’ to God
His heart has gone where his mind don’t dare
It knows what’s right but it don’t care
Searchin the eyes of everyone
For a life that used to be
(chorus)
Whatever happened to Johnny
The All American Boy
