lyrics

Everybody knows people are the same in every town
Everybody knows people are the same in every town
Walking with their heads down, walking with their ears plugged up
Walking with their heads down, walking with their ears plugged up
Oh (x4)

Could have been a rich man, instead I was a poor one
Could have been a rich man, instead I was a poor one
Knockin' on your door, pleadin' my case
Please don't slam the door in my face

Chorus:
So, come Mister Johnnyman, save my soul
The preacher man tells me I should say no
But I'm runnin' from the law, praying to a god I've never known
Please be home.

Been on this road so long
Spent all life's moments alone
Took a little too much from those who had it all
Now they want it all back, all I've got left is my soul
Oh

Chorus

Don't ask me to repeat my sins
I've got a list as long as your limbs
But I'll take a wild guess and say
You're list's as long as mine any given day
So

Chorus

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows

So, come Mister Johnnyman, save my soul
The preacher man tells me I should say no
But I'm runnin' from the law, praying to a god I've never known
Come, Mister Johnnyman,
Please be home.
