Johnny America

Five For Fighting


Show me a better bike than the one I got 
If it makes any difference you can keep the lot 
There's plenty of space in the parking lot 

A head full of hopes 
A pocket full of dreams 
Handle bars coming apart at the seams 

There goes Johnny America 
Riding Hard up Mission Hill 
Some think he'll make it to the top today 
Some say he never will 
Though he's just a child at heart 
He's old enough to fall 
Nobody in 100 years 
Can touch him faults and all... 

What you going to say about my little man 
Take another shot, do the best you can 
They're selling out souls in the grandstand 

His Cap peeled back 
Got Blood on his knees 
Fighting back tears 
Tearing through the breeze 

There goes Johnny America 
Riding Hard up Mission Hill 
Some think he'll make it to the top today 
Some say he never will 
Though he's just a child at heart 
He's old enough to fall 
Nobody in 100 years 
Can touch him faults and all... 

He's come to far to fall 

There goes Johnny America 
Riding Hard up Mission Hill 
Some think he'll make it to the top today 
Some say he never will... 

GO! 
Go Johnny! 
Go Johnny! 

There goes Johnny America 
Riding Hard up Mission Hill 
Some think he'll make it to the top today 
I say he will
