Lyrics for John Looked Down
Lying on the side of the road Feeling like he heard a sound Shivered with the feelin' that he knowed John looked down, John looked down John looked down the long, long road She gave John a present that was fine So fine that he had to go Went to see what it was that he knowed John looked down, John looked down John looked down the long, long road And I know it's hard But what did you expect of her? John looked down If you see the lady in your mind Even in her nothingness Standing through the darkest night And the people want to fight But first ask if it's all right John looked down, John looked down John looked down the long, long road Lying on the side of the road Feeling like he heard a sound Shivered with the feelin' that he knowed John looked down, John looked down John looked down the long, long road And I know it's hard But what did you expect of her? John looked down
