Song Lyrics

Me and Johanna Fell from the sky
On the very same night
Into the same little town
Like there was some kind of
Weird meaning behind it
Somehow

I remember your daddy
So big and strong
How all of us kids would
Always try to wrestle him down
Then his breathing got strange
It only took fourteen days
It was the cigarettes, they said

If something like that
Could happen to someone like him
The world we thought we knew
Was something else
Something sinister and mean
Underneath those summer fields
Some kinda strangeland

Your mother re-married
Within seven months
And that's when you learned
Not all adults are nice In the worst kinda way
I never knew what to say

And it felt in a way you regretted
The things you had told me
And I stopped coming by your house
Every day after school
And you drifted further away Into the strangelands

You started hangin'
With the worst possible crowd
While I started dreamin'
About leaving this town
It was only me and the band

And our big future plans
Oh, well...

And then I stayed away for so long
That I felt like a traitor
I just want you to know that if you ever need me
I'll come around
All these shows that Ive played
Every song that Ive ever made was about you
In some strange way
