Did You Know Johnny Walking Man

Did you know Johnny's walking

Did you know Johnny's walking
walking hard, walking long
across the gravel roads in the north
talkin trash, making out
everything coming out his mouth is last
Now I'm here standing firm
Standing on this here berm
Feet encased in shoes
Johnny don't know what to do
He's been here
He's been there
Johnny walker everywhere
Been up, been down
Been turnt been bound
Now I know what Johnny knows
and that his shoes now have holes
His toes and the heel of his feet
Are blistered red from them streets
And when he dies I want to keep
The rest of Johnny's shoes what's left of them
