Tribute to the memory of US Marine Peter A. Morrison. Live at the Zeiterion Theatre May 21, 2015

lyrics

Stole a doctors purse of pills
his bank was richer than mine
locked me up and said you've got a choice boy
your neck is mine

so we ride, we float
to the highest hills, and the lowest lows

Now we're taking Johnny Home
to his house up in the mountains
taking Johnny home past the sycamore tree
taking Johnny home where his mama will be waiting
she'll know it's the devil in me

Let us out in the warmest water
with a jungle breeze
children floating, they're falling
in the dark red sea

so we walk, we reload
to the highest hills and the lowest of lows

Now we're taking Johnny Home
to his house up in the mountains
taking Johnny home past the sycamore tree
taking Johnny home where his mama will be waiting
she'll know it's the devil in me

I'll kiss the ground, my lips touch the stone
cause I know I'm never really
no, I'm never really going home

Now we're taking Johnny Home
to his house up in the mountains
taking Johnny home past the sycamore tree
taking Johnny home where his mama will be waiting
she'll know it's not Johnny
