Johnny Blue

[verse 1] There was a man named Johnny Blue, Lived in a town where the winds blew through, Had a quirky habit, everyone knew, He’d fix his problems with a shoe or two. [pre-chorus] One day his roof started leaking rain, Johnny grabbed his boots without any pain, Tied 'em up tight, threw 'em on the roof, And like magic, the leak was gone, that's the proof. [chorus] Johnny, Johnny, fix it with a shoe, No matter what’s broken, that’s what he’d do, From a busted pipe to a heart so blue, A shoe’s the answer, always true! [verse 2] His old car broke down on the way to the store, Engine smoking, but Johnny didn't roar, He slipped off a loafer, placed it on the hood, The engine purred back, running good as it should. [pre-chorus] Neighbors laughed, but Johnny just grinned, Cause every time, the shoe would win, They said, "It’s crazy, it’ll never last," But Johnny kept solving with shoes from the past. [chorus] Johnny, Johnny, fix it with a shoe, No matter what’s broken, that’s what he’d do, From a busted pipe to a heart so blue, A shoe’s the answer, always true! [verse 3] Then one night, the power went out, The whole town dark, there was no doubt, Johnny grabbed a sneaker, threw it at the fuse, Lights came back on, the town lit up like news. [pre-chorus] But there was one thing Johnny didn’t know, A storm was brewing, with winds set to blow, His quirky habit, though strange and profound, Would meet its match when the storm came around. [chorus] Johnny, Johnny, fix it with a shoe, No matter what’s broken, that’s what he’d do, From a busted pipe to a heart so blue, A shoe’s the answer, always true! [verse 4] The storm hit hard, with lightning and rain, Johnny’s house shook, he felt the strain, He grabbed his shoes, both left and right, Tossed them outside, thinking they’d end the fight. [pre-chorus] But the wind just laughed, took his shoes away, The roof caved in, the walls gave way, Johnny stood there, no shoes in sight, For once in his life, his fix wasn’t right. [guitar solo] [final chorus] Johnny, Johnny, fix it with a shoe, No matter what’s broken, that’s what he’d do, But now he’s gone, the storm blew through, Turns out, sometimes, a shoe just won’t do.
