lyrics

Let me tell you the story, of how I got my name
Let me tell you the story, of how I came, to this place
Cast off all alone, with no rocks to throw stone
At anyone else
But, my, poor old lonesome self

I walk around at night
And hide in the day light
Friends turn away
Cause isn’t that what I’m like?

Change my name, but stay the same
Change my name, but stay the same


Well my name ain’t Johnny, but I loveless all the same
I treated love, like it was some kind of game
The bad cops got me good, just like I knew they would
Locked me up behind bars with the animals we all know we are
Now here I lay, for the rest of my days
Without you

I walk around at night
And hide in the day light
Friends turn away
Cause isn’t that what I’m like?


Change my name, but stay the same
Change my name, but stay the same

For you….
