Johnny had no money left but
He only had to do his best by
His wife and kids or they will all
Starve tonight
Empty pockets going home
Seeing the same faces that you know
Disappointment follows him
Wishing that he wasn't him
Johnny, could you take me out to lunch
Did you just give up
Johnny, what's wrong are you
Good God, just stop making a fuss
Johnny had one place to go
Where he could gamble all his dough
Getting deep with the sharks again
Drunken anger, his only friend
There he was standing at the door
Opened up to see some more
His wife had had enough
Slugged Johnny one time too much
Johnny, could you take me out to lunch
Did you just give up
Johnny, what's wrong are you
Good God, just stop making a fuss
Johnny, did you drink just a bit too much
Have you finally ran out of luck
What are you going to do
Because Johnny, I despise you
