JOHNNY’S GOT A BRAND NEW GUITAR
Johnny's got a brand new guitar in his old beat up car
He lugs it around this crazy town 'cause he wants to be a star
Johnny's got his crazy dreams opposite of where they lead
He sings his fable every night just to be, to be seen
Johnny tries to tough it out, smashing all his lingering doubts
Struggling for his share of fame, following his chosen route
Tries to hang on to his soul, in this industry so cold
He's getting by on cigarettes, just to keep from getting, getting old
Johnny's got to get high on speed, just to fill his aching needs
Always looking for a fix in this business full of greed
Johnny's got a brand new guitar in his old beat up car
He lugs it around this crazy town 'cause he wants to be a star
