Rockabilly mash-up written for "The Outlaw" Johnny Cash.
lyrics
Johnny came home, Johnny came home.
Everyone was praying, asking God to save him,
Then, Johnny came home.
How do you do, persevered right on through,
Genuine tenacity, that the whole world could see.
Johnny came home, Johnny came home.
Everyone was waiting, all the saints were saying,
That, Johnny came home.
June flew round to greet 'em,
The first family very glad to see him,
Long time since the outlaw hit, but Johnny finally made it!
Johnny came home, Johnny came home.
Everyone was waving, soul-dancin’ and swaying,
When, Johnny came home.
He came through those pearly gates,
While singin’ God is love, ain’t that great!
Now he’s rockin’ first chair, in Heaven’s all-star band.
Johnny's home now, He loves you yeah, yeah, yeah,
Johnny's came home, he's a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
