lyrics

Running away from the home where I got caught asleep in the arms of the boy my boredom brought. But Johnny’s not a boy — he’s a bird, and I like his song. And no matter what you heard, our harmonies ain’t wrong.

The sound of the car in the driveway made me stir, and half in a dream I heard a Hellcat purr. The footsteps on the stairs were like bombs falling far away, but I woke up with my Dad stood over where we lay.

“Such a disgrace — his only son is in love with another man.”

Johnny says Texas was over anyhow, and maybe it’s true this was only the testing ground. If the Garden ain’t for us, it’s in loss that our lot is cast. And we’ll get to New Orleans if we have to steal a raft!

(I’m sorry, Louise, but I can’t settle down till I know who I am, and for that I have to…)

“Such a disgrace — his only son is in love with another man.”

Running away from the home where I got caught asleep in the arms of the boy my boredom brought. But Johnny’s not a boy — he’s a bird, and he’s Heaven-sent. And no matter what you heard… we’re innocent.
