Bruce Springsteen Lyrics
"Johnny Bye Bye"

Well she drew out all her money from the southern trust
And put her little boy on the greyhound bus
Leaving memphis with a guitar in his hand
With a one way ticket to the promised land
Hey little girl with the red dress on
There's party tonight down in memphis down
I'll be going down there if you need a ride
The man on the radio says elvis presley's died
We drove to memphis the sky was hard and black
Up over the ridge came a white cadillac
They drawed out all his money and they laid him in the back
A woman cried from the roadside "oh he's gone, he's gone"
They found him slumped up against the drain
With a whole lotta trouble running through his veins
Bye bye johnny
Johnny bye bye
You didn't have to die
You didn't have to die
