Lyrics for Johnny Go Riding

Johnny let's go out riding To a place outside of town I go there every Sunday To watch the sun go down There's plenty of girls who know you They've been asking where you've been Johnny don't disappoint them They'd all like to you see you away again Willy, I don't think I'm ready To leave this house of mine You go out and tell them I'm not the social kind Some men they are lovers And others the fighting type Me, I'm in the middle of Choosing which one I'd like to be Judy, she's out catching Rides in passing cars The memories of me and her Have burned out like the stars But me, I'm not disappointed In knowing that she's free Someday down the line I knew she'd up and leave Willy, forget you're troubles And lay back on the grass There's no need to get nostalgic Thinking about the past What's gone is gone, what's here is now She standing by a fence She's wearing a beautiful party dress And wanting you to dance
