Johnny Had a Girl

Johnny was my best friend through our early teenage years; Wherever one of us went the other could always be found near; Until he found a girlfriend who soon supplanted me, But because he was my best friend, for Johnny I was happy; Johnny had a girl He had a girl Johnny had a girl She rocked his world Johnny had a girl. Throughout four years of high school I was always the third wheel; Going off often by myself, leaving Johnny with his girl; They learned about biology outside the class room walls; Johnny always had plans with her every time I would call; Johnny had a girl He had a girl Johnny had a girl Oh, what a thrill Johnny had a girl. One week before graduation, coming home from a date, Johnny never saw the drunk driver until it was too late. For three months in a coma, I sat by Johnny’s side; I knew that when he woke up, someone had to tell him she’s not alive; Johnny had a girl He had a girl. I took him to the gravesite so he could see it with his own eyes; We stayed there for hours so Johnny could say his goodbyes. Johnny got in his car that day and started heading west; Nobody has seen Johnny since, I wish him the very best. I’ve taken care of her graveside for thirty years and more; If Johnny ever comes home again, we’ll be friends just like before; Johnny had a girl He had a girl Johnny had a girl.
