Lyrics

John Moon
By Bancroft (2002)

Verse 1
It was three years ago today he used to be cool.
But now it's not if he's on top -- it's why.
He liked to have fun -- smoked a little pot.
Grew up in a small town. It's all not too bad.
Some girls he liked to get asked me for a ride.
He liked to have fun just tied up in a knot.

Pre-chorus
Got to be a good kid, was wired all day
But he had too much pride
So he parted his hair to the side.

Bridge
Don't Shoot up if you're not gonna get high.
And please go out on friday night.
And only good kids wear white hats.

Chorus
Johnny liked one girl one day
Until he dumped her flat
Said he liked her but there were
Other classy bitches and hoes.
Go away the girl wants me not you.
Oh, I wanna be John Moon.

Verse 2
When John was 16 he got a car.
We'd go to Hooters, couldn't go to far.
And she got heavy.
He once got laid in a Chevy.
So what if your sister's a whore.
You turned out quite alright.
Well I say ya did.

Pre-chorus
Well I remember I seen ya in summer
Johnny got to be a fine drummer
And at night I heard him say.

Bridge.
Chorus
Refrain
Good looking out you threw me away.
Down in the dumps is where I like to stay.
It's a nice little place that's just downtown.
But look out girl 'cause I'll be gettin around.

Like Bou Duke I got the cops on my back
And when I drive the Dart I get no slack.
I fight with you 'cause I don't like what you do.
You fight with me 'cause you don't like what you see.

This ain't -- It ain't gotta be me!

Bridge
Chorus
