[Intro]
[Verse 1]
There was Johnny like a stranger,
Living in a small town,
Measuring the small time,
He was thinner than a razor,
Johnny in a small town,
Living with his thumb on the trigger,
Wishing he could be,
Just a little bit bigger,
Bored,
To the heart of himself.
[Verse 2]
He was trouble in the making,
Trouble in the keeping,
History repeating,
He was walking into danger,
Johnny in a small town,
Looking for a light in the tunnel,
Creeping in the dark and,
Doubting that the sun'll,
Shine,
To the heart of himself.
[Chorus]
And he tells himself it'll be alright,
Happiness is just around the corner,
And he tells himself,
It'll be okay,
Happiness is just a life away.
[Verse 3]
She was pretty as a picture,
Shining in a window,
Everybody said so,
What did Johnny have to give her,
Johnny in a small town,
Putting on a suit he had borrowed,
Knowing she would probably,
Leave him tomorrow,
Weak and alone with himself.
[Chorus]
And he tells himself it'll be alright,
Happiness is just around the corner,
And he tells himself,
It'll be okay,
Happi----ness is just a life away.
[Bridge]
Everything is different but,
It's all the same to him,
Everything is nothing like it was,
Before she came,
Before she stayed,
And went away.
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
She left Johnny like a stranger,
Waiting in a small town,
Measuring the small time,
Nights were longer than the days were,
Living in a small town,
Looking for a door he could open,
Hoping that he wouldn't break until he broken,
Free,
To the heart of himself.
[Chorus]
And he tells himself it'll be alright,
Happiness is just around the corner,
And he tells himself,
It'll be okay,
Happi----ness is just a life away.
[Outro]
And he tells himself it'll be alright,
Happiness is just around the corner,
And he tells himself,
It'll be okay,
Happi----ness is just a life away.
A life away,
Just a life away.
