Lyrics
Crazy Johnny My daddy told me in '56 Uncle Johnny'd drag race to get his kicks He wasn't scared of nothin' back in those days He'd race anybody that crossed his way He'd never back down and his buddies would say: '' Crazy Johnny and his Chevrolet '' His souped-up Chevy was a sight to see Darkest color like the deep blue sea Flames on the sides made it look real mean When he raced by all the girls would scream Great big bomb cruisin' down the highway '' Crazy Johnny and his Chevrolet '' On the weekends everybody packed the bars Next to the highway where they'd race their cars When Daddy tells this story makes it sound like a dream Just some good old boys lettin' off some steam I wish I was a kid back then I'd be jammin' Rock'n'roll with all my friends Be Bop A Lula and Heartbreak Hotel Elvis shook his hips and made the young girls yell Watch the cars drag 'til the break of day '' Crazy Johnny and his Chevrolet '' SOLO Daddy said he's lucky to be still alive One day they took a corner doin' 95 Flipped that Chevy wound up on the side Thank God in heaven that nobody died I wish I was a kid back then I'd be jammin' Rock'n'roll with all my friends Be Bop A Lula and Heartbreak Hotel Elvis shook his hips and made the young girls yell Watch the cars drag 'til the break of day '' Crazy Johnny and his Chevrolet '' Words & Music : Michel Goudreau ©Copyright 2008 by Michel Goudreau, SOCAN
