Lyrics

Johnny don't fly no more
Shopping cart to hold his things
Four tours in the sand
One shot to clip his wings
Pawned his medals all for whiskey
Traded gold to ease his soul
Couple shots to keep him dizzy
Couple more to keep him warm

Back in the day he used to soar
But Johnny don't fly no more
Johnny don't fly no more

Got a wife and kid that miss him
Wonder why he ain't been home
He got the devil in his head
And a face they just won't know
Fever dreams they keep him tired
Cause every time he close his eyes
The bullets start to flying
And the cockpit catches fire

Like an eagle he could soar
Johnny don't fly no more
Johnny don't fly no more
No more

All the folks are passing by him
Afraid to look him in the eye
Dropping dollars on the pavement
So he can get some peace tonight
I hope he gets some peace tonight
Can he get some peace

Like an eagle he could soar
Johnny don't fly no more
Johnny don't fly no more
No
Like not even a little bit
